Darrel, Thanks for the comments. I use an open G tuning on my Dobro and played this song in the Key of C. I once ran across Bro Oz at a festival in Middle Tennessee and he let me pick it for a while and he had his old Dobro tuned up in Open A and used a metal extension nut to raise the strings.

Guess I was thinking about tomorrow instead of "Tonight".  :-)

Thanks , Rich. The brand of the black guitar is an OMI Dobro from the early 80's in Ca before Gibson bought out Dobro and the other one is somewhat smaller, but is also a very old "Dobro" brand and after a lot of research, it appears to be a model 55 and was probably built in the late 20's or early 30's. Has a nice sound, but not nearly as loud as the black one. My first try at YOU TUBE and my next group of songs I post will be much better on balancing the sound. The Dobro needs to louder.

Thanks much for liking my version of this song. A nice melody and a 3/4 beat and is an old tune from way back.

@moosehunterr Thanks my friend. Really appreciate your thoughts. My first try at this You Tube thing. Hopefully will post a few more songs one of these days. It's a learning process for sure and thanks for taking the time to listen. Larry
