Western Swing Lost Weekend "Time Changes Everything"

In its formative years, LOST WEEKEND Western Swing Band was essentially an "acoustic" outfit, with the exception of Bobby Black's amplified steel guitar.
This performance of Tommy Duncan's "Time Changes Everything", at Berkeley's Freight and Salvage, is from a VHS video recording from the collection of Paul Kealoha Blake (East Bay Media Center).

That's Bobby Black on Steel - he is the greatest steel player ever, yet has not had the recognition he deserves and prefers to be a sideman. I met him several times and he is the most congenial and smartest musician around ever. He has wonderful solo Albums.

Yes indeed. Bobby is one of a kind and an extraordinary talent. It has been an honor to document him all these years. This cut is one of my favorites and the talent on stage was really quite astounding. I hope YouTube viewers will run searches on musicians listed in the credits. Each are highly respected musicians, both by other musicians and listeners. Bobby has been inducted into the Steel Hall of Fame, and his legacy is a gift to all of us.

This is amazing! Please post more. LB

Peg.. Thank you. Regarding posting more, I have documented a wide array of artists in our community for over 2 decades. The advent of new distribution technologies such as YouTube have made access to these archives possible. The artists who have been kind enough to allow documentation over the years remain the last say on distribution of their archival material. I'll release more material as the artists adjust to new technologies. Support live music in your community.

xms32... thank you for the comment. Yes they are a very seasoned group of musicians. The clip reflects the band as it was 18 years ago. The band continues playing today. The original core players are still playing, and there have also been some additions over the years. Please visit the bands website for more information regarding live performance as well as more background on the band. Support live music in your community. Keep swinging.

Where was I? - How did I miss this great show at the Freight & Salvage!? Just saw Bobby Black there last night, with Tony Marcus.

Bobby Black was the man he and Bill Kirchen carried Commander Cody and the L P A for years

[HEADSUPBERKELEY]

That is the great clarinet player Jim Rothermal

Bobby plays the Dobro well, but rarely takes it out, as his reputation is based on his work with pedal steel. While the purists might have preferred the Dobro, the Bobby Black fans expect to hear pedal steel. I've added tributes to both Bobby and the Black Brothers to my channel as well (with permission from Bobby and Linda Black). The Black Brothers were big influences in my life.

To keep it "acoustic" Bobby Black should;ve played the dobro.
