Hi Ffrank,

Yeh, I know what you mean about jumped up - totally love the one cd I have (Dust My Broom). Well I dug it out now and am listening again, wondering why I don't play this more often. :question:

He was an absolutely brilliant slide player-among the best ever. I got into him because he was an influence on so many rock musicians, particularly Duane Allman-I assume you've heard his stuff, but if you don't have Allman's Live a Fillmore East that should be your next purchase if you want to hear some great slide playing.
