I just ended a conversation with a friend of mine I havent seen for like 6+ years or so, He´s a player in a Bluegrassband here in Sweden. He is a Dobro player ! So I askt him if he had gotten some new instruments lately, he said he had gotten one more Dobro by made by Beard (Jerry Douglas maker) But that his latest buy was this Dobro by this builder he met at a show in the States, his name was Kent Schoonover !!!!! way cool. !! He said that this instrument was the best he´d ever played. and I guess that this meens alot as like I said he owns 2 Dobros by beard ! . Just though I should make some ads here to let Kent know that he´s getting fame even in Sweden. Kent if you read this my friends name is Jan Ekman. then you will know what dobro I am talking about [:Y:] .
Here´s a link where he and his band are playing and you can hear Jan playing Kents Dobro ( at least I think this is kents dobro as this is a recent recording. :D

Yeah, that's cool. The world seems to shrink every day a little bit more so we are getting closer to each other. That's probably the most beautiful part of the internet. 8-)
Even if I don't know yet Kent: congrats Kent! It's nice to hear that one more OLF member is shipping his guitars over to ol' Europe! [:Y:]
