Epiphone Hound Dog Dobro
Hi there fellow Steemians
I don't have time to sort out another original at the moment (to a vaguely listenable standard anyway!) so this week I am covering another of my favourite pieces by the late great John Fahey. This slide instrumental is "Poor Boy" and on the original, Fahey somehow arranged for a dog to bark during the recording session. He then quietened the animal with a simple "shhhhsh....shhhsh". At the time, that impressed me almost as much as his playing. I'm afraid have no such prop for my rendition of the piece and I am hoping you enjoy it, despite this slight lack of true authenticity.
I am now looking forward to watching the other contributors to the open mic event.
