I've seen a lot of make-shift slides over the years, but a folding knife used as a guitar slide is a new one on me.
Enjoy this "transition" blues -- from the music of the 19th century to that of the churning 20th.

Wow a knife for a slide and a broken ? finger...and still sounds that good.
Mr. Linpscomb is an amazing artist. Thanks both for your comment and also for adding that broken finger -- another important detail -- to watch for in this rare filmed performance.
