 Uncle John, you don't need to change squat. Seasick Steve made a song about that, ya know. I like you just like you are. Thanks for the tip on slide.

I agree, Ray.  It can do that.  Somehow I have made myself try hard to avoid it.  Maybe I should loosen up a bit.  In my opinion, electric strings are better for slide.

 I love watching you play. Tons of fun and passion on your face. Thank you.

 Fret rattle Unc? My third build, the only Java I have, has the big "Blues Blasters" acoustic strings and she just plain growls when I bang on her. I avoided it at first too, but it's kind of like an acoustic overdrive and gives it a nice raunchy tone even though it has no electrics. I've grown to love it.

An ominous and good tune.  I like the fret rattle.  I was travelling yesterday and noticed Taj Mahal and others often had fret rattle.  I avoid it  as much as I can when I play.  You know, maybe I am missing out.  It has some soul to and accent to it.
