Dobro Queen of Lyons

By Lyons Bluesologist, David McIntyre

I think we sometimes overlook the artists among us here in Lyons. Sally Van Meter is a true artist in many different ways. Already a Grammy Award winning Dobro player, she is quickly becoming a wonderful filmmaker.

As music fans have often asked me, “What exactly is a Dobro?” I feel a quick definition is necessary. A Dobro is an acoustic guitar with a metal resonator built into its body. This resonator acts as an amplifier. John Dopyera invented it in the early 1930s.  Dopyera and his brother struck out in the late 20’s in search of a way to create a louder guitar. The brothers called their new instrument a “Dobro,” which means “good” in their native Slovak language.

Our blustery days and lighter mornings are a sure sign that spring is just around the corner.  For some, this is such a season of excitement with greater ease of outdoor adventure.  For others, it’s a season better off missed due to the misery of allergy symptoms. 

Over-the-counter allergy medication works well for some individuals to reduce the significance of allergy symptoms.  Itching, water eyes, sneezing, runny noses and fatigue are all irritating aspects of seasonal allergies.  Year after year, symptoms persist and with long-term antihistamine use, they tend to get worse.
