Yeah he did time in Parchman Farm State Prison so I wouldn't argue with him - seems to have unresolved anger issues he takes out on that National. One hell of a player though. He was also BB Kings cousin (useless fact of the day SW www.martinjwood.co.uk

Tom Doughty was featured a couple of times in Acoustic. Brilliant lap slide player. And his is my favourite version of this wonderfully sad old song.
Have a good Easter yawl.

That's a good 'un, Martin! Tom is a fantastic lap steel player, and I admire the way he can play like that while singing along! It's probably a bit too different as an instrument for me to consider playing, but it's fab to listen to. Also, I notice it's especially effective solo, as I'm used to mainly hearing this style in a band context.

Nice! Does he always use a slide rather than a tone-bar thingy? Keith

I had the pleasure of playing with Tom about 6 yesrs ago at a RMMGA meet in Buxton, he is such a wonderful musician, regardless of any physical issues he has to overcome, and he is a very nice chap to boot!

He is indeed a very nice chap - I first met Tom about 10 years ago at a European Blues Week gathering and have met him a few times since then. Always very generous with his talent as well.

Thanks for starting this thread Martin. Just begiining to play slide and finding it quite addictive, excellent video. Cheers. Glad you're enjoying it! Slide, for me, certainly is addictive. It's like having a second voice. As for the video, you need to thank Martin(scanbran) for that. SW

Thanks for starting this thread Martin. Just begiining to play slide and finding it quite addictive, excellent video. Cheers. I did a cd of bits and pieces from the video - very short, but you may find it useful. It also covers open G (whereas we only had time for open D at Halifax). Ping me your address and I'll send you a copy. I gave them away at Halifax so there's no charge.
