Steve LeBlanc Posted July 2, 2001 Share Posted July 2, 2001 I apologize if this post comes off as Spam... My Father played Pedal Steel/Dobro on over 300 albums in his lifetime and toured the country several times over with the likes of John Prine, Jerry Jeff Walker, George Jones, Jackson Claypool, The Wallflowers Band (with Natalie Merchant) and many more. Unfortunately he died in April 1995 from Cancer at the young age of 55. I've recently come across some tapes from the early 70s of some easy instrumental tunes he wrote and recorded. It's pretty cool stuff...my Dad had a unique guitar tone and played with nothing but heart.

Tedster Posted July 2, 2001 Share Posted July 2, 2001 It comes across not as spam, but as a son who's seriously proud of what his Dad accomplished in his all-too-short lifetime. That you are so deservedly proud honors your father's memory. I hope you had a chance to tell him that while he was alive, but, somehow, I think he knows anyway. I'll check it out. You know, things like that may make some sort of compilation to benefit a worthy cause, like the Cancer Society, and honor his memory as well. I'll definitely try to listen to some of it...(when my kids are done listening to Linkin Park)... "Cisco Kid, was a friend of mine" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jef5f Posted July 4, 2001 Share Posted July 4, 2001 Remember a few years ago when they took a recording by Nat King Cole singing, unforgetable and his daughter Natalie, sang with her long deceased daddy? Have you considered something like that with those recordings by your Dad? You playing with your Father. Putting out the album and calling it "Tribute." Psalm 33:3 The best instrument you have, is your heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve LeBlanc Posted July 4, 2001 Author Share Posted July 4, 2001 Have you considered something like that with those recordings by your Dad? You playing with your Father. Putting out the album and calling it "Tribute." Yeah, it has crossed my mind...not with these recordings though...I have a lot of 24 track tapes, etc...where I can isolate my dad's steel...of tunes I recorded with him when he was alive. I'm excited about finishing those songs someday soon. I want to set up a website of my Dad's music (I have a lot) and contribute any money it might make to working musicians, possibly through the Union...so much to do so little time it seems. Thanks for checking it out. Peace, Steve http://www.youtube.com/notesleb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
