Son House - Forever On My Mind. CD. The sound quality of this recording is amazing. Hi have the vinyl arriving on Monday... What is the slower version of "Death Letter" like?

They’re sometimes tuned with a C in place of one of the Ds, other variants too, I’m sure…

Hi, just to say that I got one of Ben’s slides for my birthday the other month - stainless steel OD 28mm, ID 23 mm x 58mm. And I’m absolutely delighted with it in every way! I have 2 Diamond Bottleneck slides and a Daddy Slide, and this is right up there with the best of ‘em…
For others with a larger slide finger, it’s probably worth noting that although Ben’s website can give the impression that 1 inch OD is the largest he offers, it transpires it’s more that 1 inch is largest diameter bar that he routinely keeps in stock, but he is happy to make larger slides at a higher but still very reasonable price (mine was £30 including p&p). Clearly, this could lead to a slight delay whilst suitable size bar is ordered, but I was lucky in that he had recently made some 28mm slides for another customer and still had enough 28mm bar left to make mine.

Cheers Stevie. The thing is I haven't donated any money for it yet, which is more down to my uselessness than anything else, and whilst I'd like to keep it I think it is worth more than I can afford so as it's for charity (Tony suggested Cancer Research) I'm thinking if it can go to someone with a bit more in their bank account then that would be for the best. I guess I could do a monthly contribution....🤔 Take it busking, put out a hat for Cancer Research donations - job done! 👍

Saw Todd Albright in Brighton a couple of years ago (2019?), he was on tour with / supporting Cedric Burnside, he was great!

Kenny Brown made me hop over to this: Love it, and it made me go looking for this: And now, I’m gonna be listening to the whole ‘Tate and Panola’ when I get back from the dog walk… And, look at that, the whole accompanying booklet is available online too: link to booklet

Hi Alex I've had a couple of L&H / Washburn Guitars and they both had a Washburn stamp inside on the back strip. Also had a very dense Rosewood back and a cedar neck. Yours is exactly the right shape and the bridge is spot on for a Washburn. I imagine it came out of the Washburn factory but maybe made for another retailer, hence the lack of rosewood. Sounds really good though. Arion?

Don’t know the seller - but an instrument with the same specifications, description and price was listed on Reverb, but now says ‘listing ended’. Perhaps it has sold?

…. If a choice is made to buy from another country… e&oe ...Not so sure this was a purchase from another country, talks of shipping costs in dollars from the “east coast” - aren’t NRP in California (west coast)?
