Roy Smeck shows his skills with a number of stringed instruments and truly earns the title "Wizard of the String".
Although I was first introduced to Roy Smeck's brilliant square-neck lap slide guitar playing, he proves that he is quite adept in the ukulele, banjo and harmonica as well.
His slide playing is especially off-the-hook. Although he may not have been as technically proficient as other slide players such as Sol Hoopi, King Benny, etc., his attack on the slide is fervent, passionate and seemingly impossible to chart.
This short is on www.youtube.com somewhere. This is a must-see for anyone who is an enthusiast of old-timey 20's music.
