Mrs. West and I were invited to a small party hosted by a high school friend here in town tonight, the party was held at the man's home and about 40 people were there......this man was tonight's entertainment. At one point, he played for 2 1/2 hours non-stop. Turns out Kirby Kelley is a slide teacher at the National Guitar Workshop....Wow! If you like blues, you'd love this guy.

No, I was busy catching up on lost time with a bunch of high school friends I hadn't seen in a coon's age. Most of the time he was aweful busy running that beer bottle up and down the neck of a Takamine. I did invite him to Arlington next year.....he's blow our little group away.

I got to visit with Mr. West R Lee at the same gathering... as promised, here's a video from that night...

Kirby has a few glass slides he'll use on occasion, but his #1 is the brass slide you can get from Dunlop...

I have one other video I'll put up in a day or two...ran out of memory card mid-song so once I pick an ending edit point I'll put it up...
