Del Casher "Dark Eyes" - The Lawrence Welk Show

[FroyaPN]

I feel really entertained.

[delcasher]

Thank you all for your comments.

I wanted a clean pure sound with my RC Allen bar pick up.

I perform in the LA and UK area and would like to do more of these shows.

Please visit my web site. I have worked with everyone from Gene Autry to Frank Zappa, Motown sessions and Elvis in Roustabout.

I introduced my wah pedal in 1967. It changed the sound of music by the turn of a knob in a foot pedal. More to come.

Kindest regards,

Del Casher

1987 movie Oci ciornie (Russian for Dark Eyes) I thought there was another from the 1960's but I can't find that now.

Dang, I was about 4 years old when you recorded this! I have to admit I'm not familiar with your work, I'll be a fan from now on! I love this song, I learned it on a chord organ when a kid, very Russian sounding! Hungarian maybe?! 5 stars

[rmaccrea]

It is a Russian folk song used on a famous movie from back then.

[Ermengarde11]

Do you know which movie? thanks!

[hillbillyboy77]

@rmaccrea  this is not russian/gypsy folksong. The author is Evgen Grebinka the Ukrainian poet who wrote it in the 19th century. Greetings from russia!

[rmaccrea]

@hillbillyboy77 I would appreciate more online information about this song. I learned this on the organ when I was less than ten years old. It is just as difficult and interesting to play on the organ.

Go Del Go - You are an Awesome inspiration.

Nice Playing!

Flyin' Fingers!!

[TeleTubeee]

Del, according to Wikipedia, you were the first person to record music using a wah-wah pedal.

Is that first wah-wah pedal song you recorded on YouTube? I'd like to see that part of musical history.

lawrence always calls this one 'dar guys.'

[stratojetb47]

When you play clean, you can't hide behind a feedback or a bent note until you find your way back into the song!

[gretschboy007]

Great picking!!!!!! Now I know where Roy Clark got his licks.

[verdictlesslife]

damn, it gets hot towards the end there :D nice!

[houseofcharm]

Hiya Del, what's the tale of the wacky CC pickup in a what, ES-5? Lots of us CC fans are curious. Great tone and picking btw.

[guitarmaniax]

I asked Del about the pickup a while back. It was made for him by R.C. Allen.

[stratojetb47]

Beautiful technique. Guitar players of this era were much better than what is going on today, Malmsteen included

[jopsidudel]

watch stochelo rosenbergs version of dark eyes.... but take the one where he´s young, it´s more virtous
