I've never seen a doubleneck Dobro before.

[Esau]

Hey Velvet, after some checking, I stand corrected, it was a Celtic cross double-neck Weissenborn. He did play a dobro though.

You can get a sample on Doug Cox's website.

Great to see you guys last night. Thanks for the nice comments. It was a highlight of my time at Pepper Jacks. Thanks to the generous invite to sit in, I have now played with someone who played with Jimi Hendrix. I got the story from Sam that he had a house gig at the Scene in NY, and Jimi came in to play while recording at Electric Ladyland. In fact Sam was one of those musicians that went back to ELL with Jimi to record. It was like a relief to hear that Jimi had a real friend in Sam Hurrie. It was very cool of him to let me play his 1951 Gibson too, after messing around with Doug's custom Dobro from Smithers BC.... What a thrill. And to lead the guys through She Caught The Cady with Harrison on harp...unforgetable. This ranks up there with boosting the Codetalker's bus with my car, and spending the day with Jimmy Herring. Oh and handling Garnet Rogers' 1954 Stratocaster 0014. My job rocks....Cheers everybody.
