Organically Grown Billy's Solo album
_______________________________________________

I made this record over the course of the year 2000-2001. I had been playing music my whole life, but the resophonic guitar for 2 years. At the time I was living in the Shenandoah Valley of VA playing a lot of bluegrass and old-time music, studying jazz with a brilliant trumpeter John D'Earth, and collecting music from all over the world (as well as instruments when I found cool ones). I had built a studio into my home in 1996, was on the road with Larry Keel, and decided that it'd be fun to have a milestone of what I was working on at the time, plus it'd help to have a little something on the record table. The title Organically Grown #94060 came from the rubber band that I was using at the time to help me hold on to the slide. I always got the rubber band from broccoli, always bought organic produce, and the plu for organic broccoli is 94060. I also thought the title gave a nod to the spirit of the project, being that it's a lot of original material, and was produced! in a very organic way (philosophically, anyways). I built a solar panel powered laptop recording system that fit in my hiking pack and used it quite a bit on this project. Not for the main tracking, but for a lot of the mixing and mastering, and for all of the graphic design. The packaging is also on recycled paperboard and printed with soy-based inks. I hope you enjoy this record. Though a lot has changed since then, I'm happy to have a small piece of this time in my life preserved forever.

This record is a compilation of tunes featuring the resonator guitar as played by all different players. This album is the second one put out by the Resophonics Anonymous crew, which consists of mostly West Coast dobro players, with the exception of me (Billy). I wasn't on the first volume, but for the second, my dobro pickin' buddy Ivan Rosenberg and I put together a cool dobro duet. Uncle Josh Graves is featured on this recording as well as some of the USA's and Canada's finest dobro players.

This track with Ivan and I is a little taste of the soon to come recording featuring the two of us. Ivan and I both play dobros, as well as clawhammer and 3 finger banjo, respectively. There are tracks with each member of the Biscuit Burners, Darrell Muller from Old School Freight Train, and swing pickin' buddy Dave Keenan.
