I've never been furthur south then Midland Texas but I get it. It feels right. Utter despair and loneliness. I'm down home with it y'all.

@1971SuperLead

thanks

Yep, I watched Paris Texas 3 times in a row back in '88 & I'd say that is a fairly succinct intrerpretation.

[deltablues4761]

thankyou for your appreciation.

Bottleneck guitar is a Primal thing. There are those drawn to it, & those that are not. The ones that are have a certain inherent affinity. Maybe came from the same swamp 're something? Anyway check out a guy name of "Harry Manx" He's on MySpace. He plays a thing called a Mohan Veena. It's swamp music. It's Bottleneck.

Thanks very much!

I have seen Harry Manx in concert and his amazing instrument.

I guess we all come from the swamp originally so to speak, but I hope we're heading in the opposing direction when they blow the final trumpet

Regards DC

Nice job dude

[Cryptykk]

Do you have tabs you are willing to share?

[GREGLUHOWY]

For sure. It be nice if they blow "The Last Call" with a bull bass, a piano, a saxophone & some sort of bottleneck guitar. Like the "Battle of Jericho" when the walls came tumblin' down.
