Caleb has approached me several times wanting to write in the blog. And we are going to give him his chance now. So, in his own words, here's Caleb and how he became interested in playing the Dobro.
Hi, I am Caleb. You are probably wondering what a Dobro is. It is a resophonic guitar. You can hear it in Hawaiian music. It is popular in bluegrass music too.
I found this instrument at a magical place called Maltby. We play there often. Well, at Maltby a long, long, long, long, time ago (in my ten years of life), was the first time I saw this weird instrument. I didn't think of it then, but one night at dinner, mom asked me what I wanted to play. She said, "Pick something that you like the sound of." I remembered what I saw at Maltby and I liked the sound. So you might say I just slid into it!
Now you may be wondering how I learned to write such a good blog. I learned from such a good mother who taught me!
Until next time....
Until i met Caleb i'd never heard of a Dobrow but like Caleb i liked the sound of it right away

Why don't you bring it to church on Sunday and when you see people drifting off just reward them unless of course its someone in your row

OF course, revenge is sweet or at least I've heard that to be true.

So I had to look up resophonic at dictionary.com.
The day you get revenge on Gordon may be a day far far far away in dreamland.
