Waiting for a Train
Here’s a version of the old but very popular song “Waiting for a Train” by Jimmy Rodgers . It’s also known as “Blue Yodel # ???”. We cut a version of it on the “Resocasters” CD in E, this one is in the key of C.
Jimmy Rodgers music is associated with the Dobro even though there’s not very much of it on his records.
It does make very good Dobro music.
This is a pretty neat arrangement and is played at an intermediate level with some new and interesting twists to keep you from falling asleep at the Reso. I play the “Head” (cool musician speak) or melody and then take a solo based on the melody, followed by the “Head” again. (If you’re ever playing at a jam and the guy who started tune points to his head, he’s gonna play the melody and end the tune)
You get a download of the song with a backup track and also the backup track without the Dobro so you can play along and play the complete song. This will stop you family from saying “You never play anything that sounds like a song, it’s always bits and pieces from Jimmy’s 100 licks DVD”.

I hope you enjoy it, it’s one of my favorite songs to play.
