I used to see a fellow, I think from the west coast, who played a ten string (maybe an E-harp).
He played in coffee houses, and such with his wife, a mandolin player, a bass player with a tub and broomstick base. Sometimes he had a snare player also.
Was his name Billy something?
Was there a dog reference in the band name??
I’d like to find them again, but just can’t pull it up from my memory.
Thanks!! |

Thanks Bill. I remember Billy Robinson, but this other fellow seemed a bit more lanky, and may have been a bit younger also.
I never saw a video of him alone, always with his combo. If I remember correctly, his wife may have been with him on the drums sometimes. |
