Watermelon

My version of Leo Kottke's "Watermelon", from his 1971 album "6 & 12 String Guitar". (Also known as the Armadillo album). Played on my 1978 Bozo 12-String. This guitar is built like a tank, and is not nearly as easy to play as my Taylor 12-string, but when you play it hard you can feel the "growl" in your bones. Thanks to Rick and all my other friends who saved all their wine bottles for me so that I could make my bottleneck slide. I broke at least 10 bottles before I finally got 1 acceptable slide, but my friends were willing (anxious, actually) to drink as much wine as necessary so that I could practice cutting the necks off their empty bottles. They've even offered to continue drinking gallons of wine every week, just to make sure I have enough empty bottles for the future. I'm humbled by their selfless sacrifice.....
