Dom,

I am always so impressed with the videos you post. You must have three brains in that head of yours. Really - you play an instrument that has twice the number of strings than the guitars that I play. You are able to sing while paying the steel guitar. And you deliver beautiful, soulful performances while switching effects pedals off and on. On top of that you are a snappy dresser. Great work.

Hey Dom, didn't realize you had so much stuff out there. I like it. I like anything that swings and you really swing. Awesome! I play either solo jazz guitar or in a duet with another horn player and use a looper and a Beat Buddy drum machine. We play The Great American Songbook and older jazz standards, so your music is right up my alley. You sing very well also. I have enjoyed listening to you. Thanks for putting in the link for all your music. I am out here in Sioux Falls, SD. I play. Mostly guitar but I started playing 8 string B11 lap steel 3 or 4 years ago and am learning jazz tunes on It. Quite an endeavor to say the least! Anyways, if you ever see the light and move to South Dakota, let me know. I think we would enjoy playing together. Again, fantastic plying and singing!
