Eastern Desert, eh? What we know as the diddley bow originated in Northern African instruments,

which in turn were influenced by Arabic instruments, which in turn were influenced by instruments

of the far East via the Silk Route and the Mongol invasions. I'm not alone in detecting an asiatic

quality to some early slide guitar recordings that seem more deeply ingrained than more contemporary

influences would allow for... unless you buy into that whole Hawaiian guitar origin story of slide

playing, which perhaps was, just like the ukulele(indistinguishable from any number of Portuguese

instruments!) , introduced by sailors... perhaps black sailors onboard whaling ships?

OOPS. SORRY ABOUT THAT.
