Cyber Riffs . . . Dobro Bends the Web - While you're online, check out Planet Dobro . Informative, comprehensive and entertaining, Planet Dobro includes Dobro, bottleneck, straight slide and slack-key styles and players. The site includes both slide pioneers and contemporary masters, links to makers of resophonic instruments including Gibson Guitars' Dobro division and National as well as small, contemporary custom instrument makers.
Links are everywhere to magazines, record labels, artist sites, parts sources and numerous photos.
Finally, click on audio and video clips of classic performances and tracks. More than worth the price of admission-free. The online version often includes more, much more than can fit in the newsstand, printed version. No advertisements and no recycling necessary. The extras have included unpublished pages of conversations with artists or additional information from investigative features.
