Although he made it popular as a guitar instrumental, here is my arrangement for the Dobro. The tune is in the key of D. I recorded this one with the band Fragment on our 2003 cd "Meant To Be".

Fisher's Hornpipe is another fiddle tune, not so often played on the Dobro. It is in the key of D, and at a certain point, it was fairly popular among the banjo players, who played it in the key of G. Although it can be nicely improvised in this version I tried to stay as close to the melody as possible.

Ragtime Annie - is a fiddle tune not so often seen in a Dobro repertoire. Here I offer my dobroistic version in the key of D. The single string notes are played as a series of rolls here, which causes the notes to overlap a little bit. It is a choice, somebody can try to play it the other way.

8th of January - a notoriously famous fiddle tune. On the banjo and Dobro is usually played in the key of G. However, I guess its original key is D. So, here is the arrangement in that key. The A. part might be a bit challenging on the Dobro if you want to get close to the melody, but why not push the envelope. There is always a choice of a more Dobro-like approach.

Little Rock Getaway - an old swing tune written by Joe Sullivan. This tune became a pretty popular piece for bluegrass pickers. For the Dobro, it was widely popularized by Mike Auldridge on his 8-string Swing album. This version, however, is arranged for 6-string resonator guitar with lots of arpeggiated chords.

Bonaparte Crossing the Rhine is a beautiful tune, that I learned from the album Spring in the Old Country of a great Czech native guitar player Slavek Hanzlik. It is in the key of D and fits the Dobro really well.

Twin Dobros! Hound Dog Ramble is a nice little tune written by Josh Graves. Thanks for the idea of Dobro harmonization to the great Leroy Mac, who recorded it on his Hound Dog Ramble album. Listen to his version. This tune became quite popular among the reso players because of this double Dobro part. Get together with your Dobro buddy and enjoy!

I learned East Tennessee Blues from mandolin player Adam Steffey. Although a mandolin tune, it fits quite nicely for the Dobro. It is in the key of C.
