Gear: 1950 Kay parlor guitar and glass slide
dynamic (SM58) & condenser (headset) microphones ["dual-mono ambient recording"]

This slide guitar piece was improvised using the D-A-D-A-A-D tuning with a Shure headset condenser mic & an SM58 positioned about 12" from the sound hole.
This song is an audio prayer. I have become concerned lately with many men I know in our community and my own church who are bought - body, mind, and soul - by worldly values that they have grown to collectively feel entitle them to hatred and sin toward those who do not kneel at the same altars.
In order to 'feel the love' socially with such men, it is required to passionately and publicly express one's personal commitment to & love for violent television, weapons, recreational equipment, liquor, blasphemy, 'necessary' prescription drugs, and collective gossip. [RMNS 1:29-32]
There are a host of places in both Testaments that say (I'm paraphrasing here), "Hey, YOU Philistine/Corinthian/Viper/etc (read: "MATERIALISTIC & BACKSLIDING DUMB ASS"), STOP IT! You are WRONG and God is PISSED about it! Don't be surprised if you WAKE UP IN HELL."
This instrumental piece is a harsh Blues for these unsaved believers who really like the 'Savior' part of the equation (candy), but haven't quite understood the duties that come with the 'Lord' part of the equation (vegetables) yet...and are acting like real buttheads and jerks with their self-righteousness, which ultimately puts the lie to their claims of obedience to the Great Commission. I'm worried about some souls.
