I know one guy who plays a steel  string and he uses a Dunlap thumb pick and Dunlap plastic finger picks and he told me the plastic finger picks sound a little more mellow  and he has a Martin  but I do not know the model number.     

I enjoyed Led Zeppelin's    "No Quarter" . I have seen one other 8  string guitar and then looked at several listed on Sweetwater and here is the link in case any is interested. It appears to be two extra bass strings at least to me. https://www.sweetwater.com/c1116--8_string_Guitars     

What you write is so nice in many ways. Makes us all thankful  and better for just reading. Thank you for sharing it.     

The link for the band is so very good. I hope  both of you enjoy the trip to see them. My wife and I drove three hours once to hear Bob Dylan and Paul Simon who each performed for an hour and then they did another hours together.     

This was interesting in how it started with an organ and more and more started as he sang. Good singer and band.     

Lee welcome to Chordie and thank you for your first post.  In your post you said you  could  open the songbook for yesterday so please describe the problem you are having.     

It will sometimes depends on your browser and what computer you are using but usually at the left side of each page there is a delete button at the left bottom of the page to delete songs or the entire book. I hope this helps.     

TF I hope you will like them as much as I do. Just to mention it tying strings the old fashion way dates back to when strings were different than what they are today. I use a method that is different and it eliminates so much extra time in changing strings. In short when installing treble strings you tie a knot toward the end of the string and still leave enough to hold it behind the bridge and once but up to pitch it stays behind the bridge.  Here is how it works :  https://usa.yamaha.com/products/musical … index.html     

Leave enough sting to hold it in place and then later you can cut it off. I also use two index cards behind the bridge so it will not scratch your guitar.

I  like his great clean playing and  enjoyed listening to him. Makes me wonder if he first played a classical guitar and migrated to a steel string. From what I read about him he is from Germany so not a lot of biography on him. Happy New Year to you TF,     

Memphis Slim & Sonny Boy Williamson was a great c choice. They also showed a woman who sounded more like a guy in drag.  Badeye hope you have a very Happy New Year.
