Hello MARK,
u wrote in a message to Lutz Sauer:
LS>remembered an old electric guitar hanging around on the 
LS>wall and tuned it down to G. That gave me the idea for a 
LS>new song, because I never before played slide on an 
LS>electric guitar. My family will return tomorrow and I will 
LS>have lound fun this night :-)))
 MV> Are you using the same slide you use with the Nat'l, or a
 MV> lighter one? What kind of electric?
I used a glas slide, on the National I used a chromed metall slide (don't 
know the material, a guy here in Sulingen has started to produce and sell 
this type commercially and I've one of the test exempels. But its shurely 
heavier than a glas slide. The electric is a Dynacord who was until now 
really hanging around on the wall, because the neck is damaged and way to 
expensive to be repaired - in fact, I don't know if he could be repaired at 
all. The neck is curved and something with the steel inside is wrong. I 
played it for the first time the last ten years and it sounde good with 
slide. Even through away my fingerpicks and used a slide.

Hope you're feeling fine anyway. By luck, guitars are not as heavy as pianos 
;-)

I never heard the name of the guitarist nor the name of this resonator 
electrics. But being off work is a fine way of avoiding a bad habitude 
(working). I'm really working :-( hard in the moment in translating or better 
get inspired by lyrics. Yesterday i tried 'She's just funny that way' by Rev. 
Gary Davis. Every try gets worser ;-). My wife looked at it, took the 
original lyrics, said 'take the kids for one hour', and when I came back, 
she'd done genial german lyrics (with a little bit ironic on my person) for 
this song :-)))))
So I hope, 'Nobodys fault but mine' could be the next song to get inspired by 
:-)))
MFG,
   Lutz
