Big mahalos to Billy Cardine for the reso track on Alameda Line. Really upped the level of the song beyond my expectations: https://open.spotify.com/track/1XXJ4DjoqIe2sNwq9ldSba?si=6e018251ea044b2b
I met Billy in the 90s at a bluegrass camp and played with him over the years in many different situations including many nights with StrungOver, Harmony Grits. etc. I'd say he's worked harder at the music than anyone I know to become one of the top dog dobro/resophonic guitar players exploring all kinds of music forms. If you haven't heard his current band project, Lovers Leap check them out! They're gigging a lot too!
Snoop-Dawg or Dizzawg!
Social distanced yard gig/jam. Making the best of it!
