[shrine52]

OH YEEAAHHH!!!!!*****

[Antarblue]

Oh Yeahhh! Thank you shrine for your kind comment!

[buchananstreet]

respectable version ! strange that not one of the great bands of the sixties  played this grand piece! it is one of the best blues songs of all time and one of the best of elmore. you got a good raw guitar playing there!

[Antarblue]

Thank you Buchanan for your kind comment! Buchanan in SF? Really? I had the impression that a lot of people have done this since. Didn't Greeny's Mac do it in 60s?

[buchananstreet]

hm...yes, I have seen that a few did it, among them slowhand clapton, in an unbearably shallow and castrated version, awful. this always was my favourite song of elmore james who is - to me - the best of the best of the best blues singers ever. and there WERE great ones. furry lewis is another great I recently discovered, and of course jimmy witherspoon, sonny boy williamson, the early ( and some of the late) john lee hooker and dont forget jim morrison and jimi hendrix as singers!

[buchananstreet]

roy buchanan enlightened me back into the blues when I was turning my back to it ...you cant escape the blues, haha!!! also , and you will be surprised, the ALLMAN BROTHERS have a few unbelievably strong blues numbers like END OF THE LINE and GAMBLER´S ROLL, these guys dig their blues, man!

[Antarblue]

I saw the Allman's live twice in 60s; once in '69 with Duane and again in '70 after his demise.

[Antarblue]

Furry Lewis as an old man was a street sweeper in NY when he was rediscovered!

[buchananstreet]

have you seen those great slide sessions on youtube with eric clapton and duane allman? it comes in five parts and it is mastery! those were the days when the slowhand wasn´t  that slow .... uuuuargh! great subtlety and beautiful guitar madness there! it is time for a new revival of all this, we are fed up with the musical junk food they ooze out of radios, mobile phones, cds and tv - throw that away - or at least turn it off whilst I am near, hahahahahaha!!!!!!

[Antarblue]

Eric Clapton is a great slide player.

[boogieman079]

lovin it man!

[buchananstreet]

that still there is some soul around here who honours the memory and the heritage and the quality of a man like elmore james, this makes my heart sing out and makes me feel that maybe there is still hope for mankind, after all .... :)))

[Antarblue]

Thank you Buch for your kind comment!

[MrCaribbean]

thats was cool antar. i should buy a bottleneck to i never played with one .

Thanks Boogie!

[broncose1]

Great blues tune.Thank you Antar for sending. 5*****'s Shirley

[Antarblue]

Thanks Shirley you are most kind!

[Aparition42]

Stellar performance as always. Is that a brass slide?

[Antarblue]

Thank You! Mmmm. I'm not sure. Looks like brass tho' now that you mention it. It's the same color all the way thru! It must be brass. In the 60s these things were not available. I had to go to a hardware store and have them cut me off a piece of steel conduit! The rough edges used ta really chew up my fingers if I put it on the wrong way!

[Aparition42]

I've only ever seen chrome and glass.  Seems to be a slightly mellower tone. Could be my imagination I guess.

[Antarblue]

Yeah. I just bought it in a store in Boulder CO. I probably didn't think about it. I tend to like warmer colors. Please remember, this is a studio performance, so you must take into account the machine, settings, EQ, etc. But, yeah, I would guess brass would be slightly mellower. I mean, now they just have everything you could ever want. Glass, blue glass, beveled glass, blue beveled glass..uh yer gonna need a compressor with that. It wasn't a consumer industry when I came up!

[squarepyramid99]

Thanx so much Antar! Great bottleneck, bet it felt good to do that after so long!! More! "The Sun is Shining...?"

[Antarblue]

Thank You so much! Great suggestion! Actually, after 40 years it was more like an 'agonizing re-appraisal!' It feel's go to see it up and my friend's enjoying it !!!

[Az777]

Very cool, Antar. Have you ever performed 'Rocket 88' ?

[Antarblue]

Thank You! Not since the 60s! I used to listen to James Cotton's version. Great suggestion! I think I'll do it!

[SaraMUSt]

This is the second day thunder and lightning appears above my head...CEWL to watch...but crappy since I'll have to unplug everything...
