This is one of the great steel guitar tunes, IMO, recorded by the legendary Buddy Emmons with Little Jimmy Dickens.  I recorded my version of it the other night while the rest of the family was in Dreamland.

Todd Clinesmith built this super fine 8 string lap steel out of walnut.  To me, it sounds and plays beautifully.  It's designed based on paul Bigsby's D-8 lap steel that was played by Joaquin Murphey.  Mine is 1/2 of that. I played it through a Fender Princeton Reverb.  The other instruments are Fender Tele, Michael Dunn acoustic guitar, Kay upright bass and a suitcase for a drum.

This is a Thelonius Monk tune. It's a live recording from a radio show, Sonarchy, on KEXP-FM in Seattle that usually focuses on avant-garde, outside style jazz. They asked me to do a show and I did some more regular tunes but felt the need to touch on some wacky noise jazz as well. Players are me playing my Guernsey, John Miller on guitar, Paul Elliot on fiddle, and Keith Lowe on bass. I actually cut this down to fit here on reso-nation. The original is 15 minutes long and has a lot more sound exploration leading up to the tune but I needed to cut it to 10MB so I axed about 4 minutes of sound sculpture to pick it up closer to the tune. Its in Bb, no capos.

Here is a  clip from my new maple van Spronssen dobro. I will post some images at Resophonic, Weissenborn & Other.

I came up with  this little melody inspired by the birth of my niese Oda last weekend. Recorded kind of roughly just to remember it:-) I'll continue to work on it, but i kind of liked the general idea..

It's my maple meredith recorded on my H4.

I posted a query the other day about this tune that popped up on my Jukebox. It was pretty cool, but I don't know whose it is. I wanted to credit the person on my playlist. Based on the file info, I saved it on my hard drive in the summer of 2007.

This is just a little piece of it.

Anyone want to claim it - or have any idea who it is?

Here's my version of an early Beatles tune from 1965 and the album "Help!" I used the EBDGBD tuning once again. Finding the Dm6 voicing "now today I find..."was probably the most significant challenge. Warning! Drums were used in the making of this clip! My drum programming is pretty lame, and I hate how much time it takes! The George Harrison riffs are dobro with a chorus effect added.

Here is a clip from a radio show I did with the Kathy Kallick Band live in the KPFA studio on May 3rd on Tom Diamont's "Panhandle Country" program. The song is "Wilflowers", written by Kathy and recorded by The Good Ol Persons with Sally Van Meter some 20 years ago. Kathy invited me to play on her new cd project and asked for suggestions for songs, this one really stuck in my head after playing some gigs with her in Feb. While I was down in May we got basic tracks for 10 songs recorded and this is one of them. My son Dan and I sing the baritone and low tenor parts. The sound quality here is pretty low-fi, but ok. I'm really excited to be a member of Kathy's new band and enjoy the heck out of playing with her and the extremely talented band. You can hear the whole show by going to Kathy's web site, http://kathykallick.com/KKB/pages/home_page.html and going to the music page, or by clicking HERE.
