Ya Steve he does, but also I believe that this style of playing has stayed in the rural areas of Mississippi and grown off on it's own after John Lee left Clarksdale. It's that rhythm and footstomp backbeat that gets people hypnotized and sweatin' hard in the clubs, sidewalks and juke joints. Lyrics don't count for a whole lot in this style and the simpler they are the better it is for the crowd to let 'er rip and start shakin'it.

"Slick" is one of two white guys that I'm familiar with who are able to pull this off with success. The other one is Richard Johnstone, who plays a two string electrified diddly-bow with a slide, along with a set of foot operated drums and high hats. It's an experience to see either one of these guys work.
