Orville Johnson-Rolling Fog

 This is a tune from an album by Sylvia Herold that I played on. She's a great singer from the Bay Area and I've had the pleasure to guest on a couple of her discs. When we were cutting this tune we didn't have a lot of time and I was learning several songs and I knew I'd heard this one before but I just couldn't place where I'd heard it. After we finished the session and I was on the plane back home it struck me that this song was on Mike Auldridge's first Dobro album, the same album that I learned to play dobro from by dropping the needle on it a thousand times and copping every note on it.

I thought " Oh sh*t! What if I played the same stuff Mike played because it's in my dobro DNA! Dang!" And I couldn't check til I got home and put on the disc. That was a long plane ride. Luckily, it turns out I played my own stuff and didn't plagerize Mike. Whew!!

Sylvia's CDs are very good and you can check them out here  http://www.sylviaherold.com/03_mockingbird.html

This cut has me, Scott Nygaard, Cary Black, and Sylvia singing and playing rhythm.

PS I'm not enabling downloads on this one cuz it's not mine.
