Here's an hour of video with good sound of Aubrey Ghent and Friends on 10/17/07(his birthday).

If you right click you can make it play on Real Player Theater for better audio and video.
Hot stuff!
Looks like he's playing one of those new Fenders mounted on 3 legs. |

Bump!
This is high quality vido and audio fresh from the Kennedy Center.
Ghent gets a remarkable tone from that new Fender lap. |

I was hoping to see Aubry playing his 10str Shobud- but he's great on anything he plays
Thanks for the post |

| Just another proof that tone is in the way you play... he could make a styrofoam lap steel sound good. |

This video is terrific. Thank you for the post.
I can't stand Realplayer but got duped into to downloading it from this site. What a mess. Took a half hour to dump the thing and it's Foxfire/Mozilla, Google junk.
Watch out!!!!!!
Thanks to SGF members advice
I ended up getting "Real alternative" software from--

Very nice. I really like the version of "Saints Go Marching In" at the 58:40 point. It looks like he's just playing an Open G tuning. Is that true?
BTW, there are some introductory remarks at the begining. If you're impatient and want to skip to the music, just skip to the 6:00 mark. |

Wonderful music. Aubrey's always great. I grew up listening to him either live or mostly on tape recorders. Thats the traditional sacred steel music. The younger generation of players take on a chuck campbell, robert randolph style of playing, so you dont really get to hear the old school playing too much anymore.
Gary, His six string tuning is usually a variation of a 6th tuning (A-C#-E-A-C#-E for example).
