I think this calls for further investigation. I think I started to look around from link to link on Wikipedia once, but I don't think I saved the search, but here is a little Google legwork...
@nacoran- It took me too long in life to find the music that I heard, as a kid, in movies about the Delta or the swamp areas. I would hear that slide on a Dobro or acoustic guitar with harmonica mixed in. Usually at a slow pace to go along with the area. I am glad that I have found it now and have been trying to learn the blues harp for two years.
Nacoran Which, after a little reading through the links begs the next question...
What is your favorite type of blues?
Tough question, I guess Piedmont. In the guitar area ,, I love SRV , Albert, Buddy,but I mostly admire Mississippi John, and the other guys of his genre, who are basically a 1 man band. That is a guitar style I struggled to learn , and have a little. Harp , Hearing Sonny Terry, Deford and similiar , I admit gets me more than Kim Wilson or Little Walter. Im new at his on harp though, I may broaden or change my thoughts Bands are cool, but the thing of 1 man on guitar or harp being able to capture your attention and hold it , seems almost magical Steve
