Don't laugh - in Japan, the antennae are often still twitching when the poor
beast is brought, shelled and raw and sliced, to the table. Personally, I
make it a rule never to eat things that can crawl off the plate under their
own power.
Reso content - played last night at a jam session in Tokyo - first time I'd
ever tried playing standing up with a strap. Managed to pick and grin my way
through one of my own, followed by "Where Should I Go", "Brown To Blue" and
"Tumbling Dice", and then stayed on stage backing some other folks in some
more bluesy stuff (including "Honky Tonk Women"). Reso was my cheap and
nasty Chinese with a Lace pickup being fed through a Behringer Tube
Distortion pedal (on minimum setting!) into a Roland Microcube. As you can
guess, I wasn't aiming for a beautiful clean Mike A. tone, but there was
enough of a reso sound there to grab people's attention - it certainly
wasn't a lap steel (and the sight of someone playing a guitar sideways
freaked some people out).
