Another in the series of shots from the Macon Coliseum show.
Wail on, Skydog!
Below the fold, Lowell George tells why he shops at Sears. It's funny his saying bottleneck requires a very particular kind of bottle considering Duane used...well, a cold pill bottle. Lucky Duane, then, coming across the perfect slide while laying helpless in his sickbed:

Thanks Donnah.. I can finish the week now..!!!
It is so funny, on a slide players forum I visit, there is a thread that asks "What have you used to play slide with?" It has gotten a little dated by now..some of the answers are a little ridiculous.
I draw the line at wax fruit.
Great shot of Skydog's technique..Dickey explained it quite well in an interview many years ago..and no one, not even Derek has it yet..
On another note, Duane welcomed another great picker spawned by the southern rock madness of the
day... Hughie Thomasson of The Outlaws passed on
this past week at his home in Brooksville, Florida.

Rest in Peace..

The YouTube clip with Lowell George is excellent. Further, as always, C. Sason comes through with icing for Donnah's cake.
Many thanks.
Heh I've used my dads Quiktuner, friends beer bottle and an assortment of other smooth-ish objects for slide. Tried with a pen before... didnt quite do it. But wax fruit?? You'd have to be a fruit to try that hah!
Thanks for a good shot of Duane 'hittin the note'. Just passed Butch's description of it in Randy Poes 'Skydog'
"friends beer bottle".. yeah right...;)
Posted by: csason at September 12, 2007 05:39 PMcan someone tell me who is singing vocal with
Scott boyer on the Anthology 1 cut of Please be w/me. Also whos playing bass. Just discovered this song again after all these years and never
noticed the female harmony before. anybody know?
it was all his, not mine, honest. 0=)
Hes gotten into drinking and I havent, though he isnt being bad about it. He wont drive after and stuff, and he doesnt go crazy and binge. But his apartment is always a mess and they're sittin on his table.. so i just grabbed one and tried it hah. (like the heineken commercial of some bands lead guitar tryouts)
...and its always someone elses item. dads tuner, friends bottle, some pen that was lying around...
