Steve Toth's new book "Dobro Roots" is out. It is excellent. He gave a short demo tonight of older dobros. It was a book release party in Escondido.

I received my copy last week - outstanding! I haven't had a chance to listen to the CD that comes with the book yet of Steve playing 15 songs on old Dobros, but I know it will be good, Steve is a fine player.

Mark the cuts sound great! and if i remember correctly the Dobro,s are panned right.
A much needed book on this subject.
And if your reading Steve please continue with this into the OMI era.

I also find it fitting that the book release party was in Escondido, California. This was the location of John Dopyera’s Fiddle Fret Shop. I remember hanging out there in the early 70’s. John built up for me my first real dobro, circa 1973. So 40 years later, we have a celebration of John’s design. And what a wonderful design it is, indeed. Thank you Steve for this book.

Thanks for the kind words Tom! And thanks for coming to the book release night. I love your "Nati-horn".

And thanks to Mark and Michael too! I'm glad you guys are enjoying the book and CD.

Welcome to the SGF Steve! Your first two posts right above mine!

Your book is on my Father's Day wish list. Looking forward to it.
