Portrait of b0b playing steel

[Shoshanah Marohn]

I made this portrait of my dad, about 2016. He challenged me to draw him playing steel. I drew it in a digital drawing program. Bobby Lee playing his Desert Rose:


P.S. My name, “Shoshanah,” means “Desert Rose” in Hebrew. I don’t know if he knew that or if it was just a happy coincidence.

[Bill Ladd]

Aww, that’s awesome!

[Jon Jaffe]

Shoshanah and the pleural Shoshanim, roses, were part of a folk song written in the mid-50s and a minor worldwide hit in 1971. "Erev Shel Shoshanim, Eve of the Roses is wonderful to play on the pedal steel. Your dad had to have heard it. It is a hauntingly beautiful melody. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKSFmwX_E1k

That is a cool pic and I'm sure it made him happy.

Thats great Shoshanah! Good likeness.

Having worked on 3 (or maybe 4?) Desert Rose guitars of a dear, departed friend, (and rehoming them for his widow) they have a special place in my heart.

This is sweet, Shoshanah.
