Well I took the week off of harp practice and been working on a Blind Willy Johnson (1895-1945)song,Its Taught in the 2nd lessson of a Keni lee Burgess Cd I got awhile back,Im not a good finger picker ,so I used a pick,I would like to get the finger picked version down better but,It might be awhile,I guess Blind Willy is considered the Little Walter of old time Bottle neck slide guitar,Speaking of I have a pic of a couple of my Bottle neck slides the 1st two I ever made ,But there made from a Brandy bottle that I used to store Moonshine In,;-)They have comercial moonshine slides,but these are they real shine slides;-)

Nice, I didn't realize Blind Willy was considered the Little Walter of bottle neck guitar. You're really progressing on your cigar box. Is the old timey record effect pushing up on the needle effect done through the recording software you're using?
