My guest for this week's podcast is New Zealand based Weissenborn player Thomas Oliver. Does anyone have any questions you want me to ask him?

Sure. What was his process when he decided to arrange the Jurassic Park Theme for Weissenborn? It's a grand orchestral theme; what did he think about in approaching it from a lap guitar perspective? _________________ Steel Guitar Books! Website: www.volkmediabooks.com |

How did he discover the weissenborn and then decide it was the instrument for him. It's not exactly a mainstream instrument. _________________ Steve |

The majority of weissenborn players who are recording play (mostly) ethereal styles (dreamy, reverb-laden, etc). For him is this choice taste driven (what he likes) or does the nature of the Weiss nudge him in that direction? _________________ Larry Pogreba Baritone 'Weissenheimer
