I saw a film of Danny Gatton spilling beer on his guitar some years back. He was using the bottle for a slide. I had thought you would drink the beer first, but I'm still learning. Unko Paul

Oh yeah? Ever played in a country bar? The chicken wire across the stage is to stop flying beer bottles, but it doesn't stop the beer. Just ask my ex, who played fiddle in the band. The bottle wasn't meant for her, it just got flung during the fight!
Much as I love good fiddlin', it's refreshing NOT to see the banjo/player as the butt of the joke. Although I suppose that will revert back eventually. Unko Paul
