*Notes on "Prepared Dobro"........Prepared Dobro started in an open D tuning, D A D, F#, A, D, where the F# and A were lowered a whole octave to D and F#,
with a B on the top for track #3 "Peace".......from there, I randomly retuned/Detuned strings without a tuner, and without
comparison to eachother.......which left me in a tuning I had never used before, and didn't check after...........
these are fully improvisational takes, played once only, in that moment in time.........
