Tom's Corner

Tom Engleman

Tom is an avid evangalist of the dobro and pedal steel, and has gotten many new musicians interested in these instruments and music.

Tom's love for music started at an early age and continues through today as a musician, and through his development of new components for the dobro and steel guitars.

Tom's better half, Jan Engleman, who has supported Tom through his dobro endeavors.

I’m not sure if the folks that attended the Dobro Meetings came for the music jamming and lectures or the food.

The saying is “There are no free lunches”, however at the Dobro Meetings the lunch was free and the food incredible. All thanks to these amazing ladies.
