    Default Oklahoma Twister

    Here's Bobby Clark's "Oklahoma Twister", as played in the MP3 section of the Cafe.

    I haven't tabbed the ending quite yet....come back and check here again soon.

    Maybe I'm missing it in the MP3 section here ?... I can't find it there...? I really like that tune! Been playing it a lot lately. Cool tune. Listened to the midi file on mandozine and learned it there. Thanks

    A fine number, indeed, And the whole album it's on is dandy. For years (I mean, years) I had a cassette tape of it, then I ran into Bobby and he gave me a copy of the CD, which he sells at festivals. Has Larry Mcneely, Stuart Duncan, Sam Bush, Bela Fleck, others. Many of the tunes are original compositions. He plays a gorgeous solo mando Yesterday by The Beatles, enhanced by the tonal beauty of his '29 fern Gibson.

    And try to find his 1979 recording One-Legged Gypsy (hasn't made it to CD, afaik). This is a very eclectic recording, one side grassy, one side (world music?). He plays elec. mando on a few cuts. Superb.

    And not only that, it has rest stops along the way, allowing one a moment to gather ones' self for the next onslaught of notes...
