An interesting outtake from the 2005 Convention in St. Louis, from the Beard Resonator Guitars Booth. It features Dobro legend Mike Auldridge (who was with the Country Gentlemen and the Seldom Scene), having fun with his Dobro. Then Cindy Cashdollar (formerly with Asleep At The Wheel) walked by, grabbed a Dobro and...here we go! Enjoy!
Here is one of the all time greats, Billy Robinson (member of the Steel Guitar Hall of Fame). The tune is "Song of the Islands", played beautifully by Billy in the Hawaiian Room of the ISGC in St. Louis in 2006. Watch those incredible bar slants! Enjoy the music, Walter
Here is a clip of my 2005 Steel Guitar Concert at the Austro-American Society in Vienna - another great old song: "Have I Told You Lately That I Love You". Enjoy!
Here is another clip from the 2005 Convention in St. Louis. Jerry Brightman & the Curtis Brothers were tearing it up in the Peavey Room, feat. Steve Piticco on guitar. Sorry for my camera position, all you can see of Jerry are his hands. The room was so crowded that it was standing room only!
