The piece ended with one of the slide solos that only he could play - sure and skilled, sensitive and moving. If there wasn't to be more of Blind Willie Johnson's guitar and his voice, it would be difficult to think of a more fitting way for his music to fall silent - Blind Willie Johnson, last recording described by Sam Charters

Hi all,
I believe Bo Weavil Jackson/Sam Butler falls in this category, with all of his slide blues played in the conventional position and all of his slide religious numbers played lap-style.
All best,
Johnm
