His next invention, apparently, is a machine that puts a baseball cap on the right way round every time

Apologies for the hair editing. This was out of consideration for most viewers of this forum, whose hair ration you got.

Have never seen the poster drawing, but would like to. My guess would be that he used picks. He certainly didn't use bare fingers to produce that tone. Pity there aren't more attempts at his playing on youtube.

I agree he's playing upright guitar in both open G and D. Whether he played 'upside down' left handed or whether he strung the guitar for a left handed player is hard to tell. Also whether he used finger picks or a flat pick plus fingers is not easy to tell from the recordings. One thing is certain, it is very hard to replicate the tone he produced with the slide. Is there a photo of him anywhere, holding a guitar? Where does the information come from that he played left-handed?

Nice one, Blueshome. Who's responsible for the great barrelhouse piano?

Great discussion and about time someone gave Kokomo's style some serious attention. The fact is, I haven't a clue about what he was doing, just that it sounds good. I've only managed to approximate his sound, playing upright and fretting as well as sliding (in both G and D tunings). I'll look forward to others posting their efforts on youtube eventually.

Just my opinion: it's one thing to dance whilst someone's playing, it's another to take the microphone and take over someone's performance. Now, Dave is a master of punk, anarchic blues, so he's not bothered by a bit of anarchy. Personally I think the guy who got on stage is an arse. I've seen him at a few festivals and really, he is an arse. Probably needy and deserving of sympathy. Or a belt in the gob.

100 club should organise a petition to Boris urging compulsory purchase and re-letting to them at a peppercorn rent. That or the National Trust.
