No Sco, but O.

I never did see the Scofield show. He wasn't going on until nine, and I had a gig. Typical.


I've been reading Jas Obrecht's Otis Rush interview with great pleasure. Otis is another upside-down lefty, which seems to be a recurring theme on this here blog. From the interview:

JO: You and Albert King both put your string sets on with the skinny ones nearest the ceiling. This must cause a different sound on bends, since you're moving the strings the opposite way from most players.

OR: A right-hand man try to push the little E up, where I ain't got nothin' to do but just pull it down. And it's more easier to pull something down than to push it up. Just like this building – you can tear it down in a second, but to put it up takes a few months.
