Thanks, CarolC, MJH is gonna be a tough customer, as well he should be. But, Fred McDowell just lights it up with his work on the bass strings. As a blues player myself, I just wonder how he works those bass strings so heavily without interfering with the the higher strings. I asked this question of Rolfy at Tweeds, thinking that ol' Fred used two slides with one being a stubby on his index finger, but Rolfy said: One man, One slide, Deal with it! Hmmmmmm? How do ya' play that stuff, Fred? Oh, to have just seen him once.... Oh.....

And for those of you who think the 2 slides is a good idea? Well, Iz been trying it and it ain't all that easy. I can get the thing cranked up fir a few seconds before it breaks down. I think I'll just try to find out how Fred McDowell did it with one, thank you....
