'you Got Me On My Knees'

Slide shrieks in anguish
Nearing dog-whistle domain
Then he makes it cry...

('Layla' - Derick and the Dominos - Written and sung by Eric Clapton - featuring the late 
Duane Allman on slide guitar)

Oh I can feel the music, I love to listen to the way the instrument feels, not just as it sounds, I think you know it too with this beyond perfect description of the play, Nicely done!

Talk about wringing out the emotion eh Tim? Great song and instrumentation. Like your descript- sends me right along to the where the song is ...... Robert
