For a short time back in the 40's, Oswald strapped on an Electric Gibson Lap Steel. I could tell by the sound and saw it on an old U-Tube. It wasn't long before he went back to his Dobro. I wonder where they butied that Electric so he could not get at it ?

Oz told me that guitar is on the bottom of the Cumberland River.

I heard that he specifically bought the electric for one of the first recording sessions Little Jimmy Dickens did around 1949.
