Folks, I just put up a photo of an Australian fellow by the name of Fred Chapman. He's playing a "kerosene tin" dulcimer, something that was apparently somewhat popular in some parts of Australia at one time. Mr. Chapman is using a chisel for a slide. I have an album by Bukka White where he uses a screwdriver for a slide, so I reckon anything you might find in the toolbox will do if your heart's in it. Remember the "tractor as rhythm section" video on Youtube...? Anyway, I'm thinking of making one of these just as soon as I wear out the mop and can find something that will work for the "box". Lookout...
