WANNA' JAM TO A SKETCHBOOK OF
CATCHY RETRO POP TUNES?
Originally arranged for BOTTLENECK SLIDE DOBRO
in a variety of alternative and open tunings, many of these
instrumental music sketches
borrow from the popular 1-4-5, three-chord idioms of
early 20th Century street music
- the basis for virtually all American popular music to follow -
and appear here as
POP SONG TEMPLATES for
REHEARSAL AND INSTRUCTION PURPOSES only.
Please keep in mind that because you are listening to
software playing back MP3 music scores
- not real musicians playing their instruments
and not actual audio recordings - available
vocals with articulated lyrics could not be included.
Personal use downloads are free, inquire about Lyrics and/or Commercial Licensing.
Printed music scores are available for all selections.

BACK IN THE DAY of six-nighter contracts
and Saturday matinee performances,
Dudlow had been at it for a good long while,
crisscrossing the country with his Top-40 band,
playing the smoke-hazy bars, lounges and hotels.
BUT NOWADAYS the ultimate freedom of
busking solo on the open street
continues to inspire the many narratives behind his music.
Known for his chrome plated Dobro Duolian as
"THE MAN WITH THE SHINY GUITAR",
he has bottlenecked his way through countless gigs
and continues to ramble wherever the story takes him.
These sketches present some of his musical reveries which,
not surprisingly, he enjoys playing along with,
freeform-style on his Dobro.
