Innovative use of You Tube, but I wish he'd keep still!

More or less bumping this for the very useful and interesting info on CBW's tools and tunings (above), thank you Michael (one more instance of internet searches leading me back to this forum...) Also wanted to mention, in case anyone else is interested, there is (at time of writing, one copy of the (above mentioned) Classic Slide Guitar Blues Vol.2 on ebay uk for £4, which seems very reasonable (there were two, but I snapped one up)... Can't seem to find Vol. 1 this side of the pond tho... Also may be worth mentioning that Bottleneck Guitar Trendsetters of the 1930s is now also available as an MP3 download (warning: reading some of these threads can have financial consequences )

Thanks Bod - It is always good to talk about one of my all time favourite musicians. He was so important and influential in Chicago and yet historians have virtually ignored him. Married to Memphis Minnie and his band often included Big Bill Broonzy and Tampa Red on rhythm guitar ......what more do I need to say!
Shine On Michael

Michael - sounds like a few more CBW disciples are in the pipeline :-)

I just listened to the Trendsetters CD yesterday (one of my "desert island CD:s" ) for the umpteenth time. And this topic was active when I looked at the forum today.
Casey Bill is a huge influence and inspiration to me.
