Willie showed up at the second night of Kaiser/Speal shows and tore the roof off with his double-slide diddley bow technique. The instrument in this video is nothing but a broom wire on a plank with a homemade pickup attached. Yet, he coaxes intricate leads and funky rhythms all over that one string. Amazing.

    He can definitely play that thing and that's for sure. Nicely done and a wonderfully authentic bluesy singing voice too.
