A couple of months ago I picked up an old guitar at Goodwill (for $8). I put some used strings on it and was going to give it away, but it had such an interesting twangy sound that I decided to keep it.

Well Max (THE MAX) came along to my sing on Friday and said 'this sounds a bit like a Dobro'. He tuned it to G and pulled a slide out of his pocket and started playing it.

As soon as the dog has finished gnawing on that bone, I'll use it to make a higher nut. Then of course I'll have to learn to play the darned thing.
