I'm home recovering from back surgery. I've seen every Steel Guitar video on youtube. So I started looking at Dobro videos and came across this. Is there no end to Randy's talent. The next thing you know he will have a vocal CD. "Randy Sangs Vince Gill"  This is real good stuff and I would like to hear more. He has some unknown guitar player backing him up.

| Howard, thanks for sharing. I would love to see more. Do you know if the dobro was tuned to G or C6th? Not your typical bluegrass dobro but it was cool none the less. But, of course it was it was Randy Beavers. What a great talent. I have been a fan of Randy's since he was about 15 years old and I wasn't much older than that. |

Hmmmm.....I thought that I had more video of Randy playing.....possibly I do but it's not posted on youtube.....
Here's what I recall from those sessions if I'm correct......the tuning is G.......Randy was interested in playing the dobro, 6 string, and received some tutelage from Mike who suggested that he learn and play in the G tuning..... |

I'm afraid there is no end to Randy's talents. He's also an accomplished classical guitarist.
And he's a bass fisherman, Percy Priest being his home lake.

David, I heard Randy hooks the ball really bad.
I kinda expect Mr. Beavers could play shoe strings if he could stretch-em tight enough to get em in tune!

| Herb, you know it doesn't take talent to bass fish, I'm proof of that. My home lake is Lake Guntersville. |

You must be doing pretty good when you have Mike's undivided attention. He doesn't take his eyes off of off Randy's hands.
