Lessons With Troy - A Podcast all about Dobro (Resonator Guitar), Lap Steel, Weissenborn and More!

This week I’m happy to have world class Dobro player and one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet, Phil Leadbetter on the show.

In addition to playing and touring with some of the best acts in Bluegrass Music, Phil has won the IBMA Dobro Player of the Year multiple times, and has most recently fought and survived a truly life threatening battle with Cancer, to now be back playing music and inspiring others with his life story.

In this podcast he shares so many wonderful stories of his life in music, and his battles with Cancer.

This week I’m happy to have Cincinnati based musician and teacher, Nick Fryer on the Podcast.

I found out about Nick through the various Lap Steel Groups on Facebook, and after doing some research I ran across his great Transcriptions of Lap Steel Players such as Jules Ah See and Joaquin Murphey, I thought I would invite him on the Podcast and see if I could pick his brain and share his story of how he got into all of this, as well has have a total Lap Steel geek out all about Players and Albums I need to check out.
