[Bb] Hey everybody, I've been watching YouTube tonight and I have thoroughly enjoyed all the great tributes to Bashful Brother Oswald.
The music of his that's been uploaded and the wonderful video clips.
Just everything.
I'd like to share a few memories of him myself, if you don't mind.
I hope you'll enjoy this little video.
I guess everybody in their lifetime has somebody that they look up to or an entertainer that they admire.
For me it was Bashful Brother Oswald.
I loved his simplicity of playing, his style, his techniques.
Just everything about his dobro playing.
I met him one night at the Grand Ole Opry and I told him that I was learning to play the dobro.
_ So we talked and I got to hold Herman that night, which I was really glad and I had my picture made with him.
I [B] wrote him a letter [Bb] after I got home and told him again how much I enjoyed visiting with him and that I [B] was learning to play the dobro.
This is the letter that [Bb] he sent me back and I'd like to share it with you.
[C] It says, Dear Mike, I'm home [Bbm] most all of the time.
[Fm] You're more than welcome to come over to my house and [C] I'll be glad to show you some on the dobro.
Probably after the [Fm] first of the year would be best if you would like to come earlier on Saturday for a couple [C] of hours
so we can [Ab] go over some songs before I go to the Grand Ole [Bb] Opry.
My telephone number is 615-868-2942.
Signed, Brother Oswald.
And I don't know [C] too many [Bb] musicians or _ entertainers that would be that kind and invite a practical stranger into their house for that matter.
But this dobro right here, [Fm] this was Brother Oswald's [Bb] primary dobro.
This is a 1935 model 27, short spider, lug comb.
[C] The tailpiece is not original.
[Bb] Shot Jackson put the tailpiece on there as well as the Grover tuners.
[F] Now this dobro was 12 frets from the [Bb] headstock up to the body.
[Eb] I was at the time prior to playing this dobro was playing one that had 14 [Bb] frets from the headstock up to the body.
Shot Jackson found this particular dobro at a pawn shop in Asheville, North Carolina.
And Brother Oswald took a liking to it.
He loved the tone of this guitar and [C] he traded his 14 fret dobro to [Bbm] Shot Jackson for this one.
[Cm] I'd like to play you a little song [Bb] that I used to love to play.
It was a hymn and it's [Cm] called, Where We'll Never Grow [D] Old.

_ _ [F] _ [D] _ [Bb] He loved to play that song.
A lot of people are always curious as to [Cm] [Bb] if the neck is straight on this instrument tuned up in A.
I was tuned in the key of A.
He called it a high bass.
[Eb]
The string [C] gauges are 18, [Bb] 18, 22, which is unwound, 32, [Eb] and two [Bb] 42s.
And that, he said, created less tension on the neck with him tuning up in A.
Mr.
Acuff loved to sing songs in A and Oswald thought the dobro had a greater tone with it tuned up in A as well.
So I'm going to try to upload a few more videos and share a few memories of Brother Oswald and I hope that you'll enjoy them.
