- OLD SCHOOL -
WANNA' JAM TO A SKETCHBOOK OF
CATCHY RETRO POP TUNES?
Originally arranged for BOTTLENECK SLIDE DOBRO
in a variety of open tunings, many of these
original instrumental music sketches
borrow from the popular 1-4-5, three-chord idioms of
early 20th Century street music
- the basis for most American popular music to follow.
They appear here as
POP SONG TEMPLATES for REHEARSAL AND INSTRUCTION.
Because you are listening to software playing back MP3 music scores
- not recorded musicians playing their instruments -
available vocals with articulated lyrics could not be included.
Free personal use downloads are 24-bit 96kHz WAV files.
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.
