Mooh, i ADORE Don Ross! I have every CD. I've spoken with him. I've hugged him. I've campfired with him. I've played piano with him. (Remind me to tell you about 'the incident' sometime.) I've even (with his permission) rooted through his gig bag. (okay, laugh at me....but just imagine being able to do that with one of YOUR folk heros' gig bags!).

Don does a bit of slide. He's a master fingerpicker. And a wonderful guy to boot.

But, I digress. It's the INSTRUMENT ITSELF. Whether it's played by Jerry Douglas or Don Ross or Bruce Cockburn (i feel faint just thinking about it) or by somebody at our song circle, it's the SOUND of the dobro that grabs me. Just one slide sans fret and I'm climbing comets.
