I watched a bio about Sister Rossetta Tharpe this past weekend. She started off as a church singer/musician in the footsteps of her mother. She was a multi-instrumentalist. They said she'd play guitar (ac or el) if available, piano, tambourine - basically, whatever was there that she could get her hands on.

The idea reminds me a lot of some of the first bottleneck slide player that had a single wire, attached to their house and played with a butter knife. While I am grateful that we have an abundance of choices I feel much creativity has been lost during those days of "making do with what you got."
