Get Your Mind off Wintertime



That's my dad (Bobby Lee Quasar) on pedal steel, playing with Manzanita Moon. They play better now than they did when I was a kid! Must be all of that practice. I'm pretty sure he's been playing with Michael Kane (on fiddle) for almost my whole life? Every dance, private party, outdoor shindig, county fair, or wedding in the 1980's in Sonoma County, it seemed like my dad would play with Michael Kane or some outfit like this, some of these same songs, and I was there, mooching root beer from somewhere and sitting on a fencepost, trying to find some other kids to play with, but usually talking with my dad's fans instead. They always said the same two things: "Your dad's amazing," and "You look just like him." (Unfortunately, they weren't talking about his looks when they said the first part.) All history aside, it's a nice set they do here. I'd hire them. :)
