I love the hang…and it was invented not far from us in Bern by two swiss men. And it features in one of my absolute favorite films, my sweet pepper land, played (for real) by a great Iranian actor Goldshifteh Farahani.

An interesting anecdote from Doyle Bramhall,
Well, he actually paid a price for being as committed as he was to the kind of string bending he was known for. I used to go see him and he had this “callous kit” so he could glue his fingertips back together. It was like a wallet-thing with nail files, Super Glue, baking powder. He often had massive holes, like a quarter inch deep, in his fingertips. Before the shows, he’d have to basically “putty” new fingertips back on. He’d rip the skin off the palm of one hand and use the skin to glue onto the hole in the fingertip. Then he’d file it down so he could play, with these fake fingertips made of skin, glue and baking powder.
After he stopped doing drugs, I said, “What happened to the big strings? You’re playing on .011s now,” and he’d say, “Yeah, I stopped doing cocaine so I couldn’t do that anymore!”

and this has always given me happy shivers ever since I was given a freebie cassette give-away in 91 and had to wait for the album to get released
Enrico Caruso (1927} sings the soaring Neapolitan song of the enchantment of young love he used traditionally as his final encore, “Luna d” Estate".
It never fails to make my old heart soar to the heavens above, abandoning all cares. Timeless, “Summer Moon”
