my new project: slide / bottleneck guitar, open tuning, guitar instrumentals …
it takes a worried man, to sing a worried song …
below: first feedbacks via twitter (Pamela Falcon – http://www.pamelafalcon.com/ ) and soundcloud (Band On The Runn, Ted Roberson, Middletown, NY, United States – https://soundcloud.com/band-on-the-runn ):

me, playing on my Dobro = national steel = resonator guitar in the forest on a fine day
P.S.:
there were a school shooting, a cruel massacre in Erfurt, Germany, and during the funeral one musician performed “Amazing Grace” – we all were very near to tears…

Now, I’m woefully ignorant, so bear with me–but hearing “slide”, makes me think of Hawaiian guitar music (“slide” was the term referenced). I imagine you’re familiar–do you play any of that, Hawaiian “folk” songs?

just read your carousel poem:
“On far ponies where mem’ries start”
– for me a guitar is like a
memory pony
= nice metaphor, Bennetta!

sorry, it’s not Spanish Flamenco guitar – maybe that’s the sound you grew up with? Nevertheless, I got my best guitar lessons by Cristina Rico, Valencia, Spain: I’v learned by her how to focus, to concentrate, to meditate. She played mostly in the night, eyes closed, working for her CD….

Thanks Frizz, your Slide – Worried – Man 72 is poetry to the ears. Hopefully, the worry will pass and the poetic sounds will represent a time passed.
Awful to hear about the school shooting in Erfurt.
