Welcome to Guitars & All That Jazz

Guitars & All That Jazz was a radio station that webcast via Live365 for 11 years, ending in June 2011. The playlist consisted of guitar instrumentals, jazz, big band, early rock 'n' roll, lounge music and classic easy listening.

I hope to share some of this music with you via this blog. Most of it will be taken from the original vinyl (LPs and 45s) , cassettes and the occasional commercially unavailable CD.

Here's hoping you'll find something to enjoy. Please note files are available only for a limited time.

I urge you to purchase the digital version of the albums featured, either on CD or via download, wherever possible.

Mickey Andrews - Velvet Dobro



Mickey Andrews, a Canadian dobro and steel guitar player, is from New Waterford, Nova Scotia. According to the Canadian Pop Encyclopedia, he recorded five albums in the 1970s and appeared regularly in Toronto with the local act Cabbage Towne.

Andrews recorded with the bands The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, Chalawa and Atlantic Union. But not much has been heard of him since then, although he later worked with fiddler Sandy MacIntyre's band Steeped In Tradition.

Velvet Dobro (1975) was the third of Andrews's five albums and you can listen to and download the track Beautiful Yesterdays from the link below. The MP3 is from a 45 single.

Beautiful Yesterdays

None of Andrews's solo recordings appear to have made it to the digital age, either on CD or downloads. Used copies of his LPs turn up occasionally on line. The Canadian eBay site is probably your best bet.

  1. A special treat was always apparent with Sweet Daddy Siki, a personal friend of Mr. Goudas, and a former superstar wrestler who ultimately turned into a fantastic country and western singer.
    Sweet Daddy Siki frequently appeared the free Christmas Parties for the Kids held by Mr. Goudas over the years. He was always a bit hit.

    And one of the best players of steel guitar, Mickey Andrews.
