Hobostubs: thanks! I dig that old guitar. Louisiana Red always wanted it and I am glad I held onto it. It is a cheapo from the 50's that was my first guitar that I could chord above the 2/3rd fret. I have had it for over 30 years now. Man does time fly. Here is a shot from belguim with Red playing it (same slide I used too) and me on harp. Walter

Walter that's great stuff! (As usual!) I particularly liked the slide and vocals on "The Highways". What make is the guitar? Are you in open tuning or standard?

thats cool. YOu even got the same slide,I like slides my Dad gave me a pyrex glass slide he found in the garage,I had it a couple years befor I decided to try play around with it,then i made a slide from a cheap socket I used for awhile still have it,then the other day,I noticed I had the perfect bottle necks on 5 Brandy bottles I had keeped to store Moonshine in that i used to make,So i looked up how to make a slide on the net,some rope a hack saw or glass cutter and some gasoline and water,I busted 1 but made 4 nice slides 2 stubies perfect for cbg,I full size slide,which has a lower darker feel to it than my pyrex slide not better but different,and a in between size,snapping bottle necks can be tricky and getting the right size can be to,I learned;-)They have these killer looking slides on the net called a mojo bone slide there high dollar,around $50 I cant afford one but they look cool,I like the different tones you can get with different slides,Do you use any particalor type?

AV8R: Thanks! I have had that guitar in a ton of shops and had countless musicians look at it. Nobody knows for sure what brand it is. I used open E on those songs. Here is a better picture of it. I figure someday someone will identify it.
Hobostubs: That is cool you are making your own slides. I am not that skilled a craftsman. I use a big brass one with that guitar and my acoustic and a steel guitar slide with my black cat mojo guitar. I bought the brass one in a Ca music store in the late 70's. I gave it to Red to use and about 15 years later he returned it! Walter
here is the black cat mojo guitar. I has the action up way high like a square neck national/lap steel. It is a one of a kind handmade that the late owner of the black cat lounge gave me when we left austin.
