The diddley bow is significant to Blues music in that many blues guitarists got their start playing it as children, as well as the fact that, like the Slide Guitar , it is played with a slide. A notable performer of the instrument was the Mississippi blues musician Lonnie Pitchford , who used to demonstrate the instrument by stretching a wire between two nails hammered into the wood of a vertical beam making up part of the front porch of his home. Another performer who uses the instrument extensively is the New York City -based jazz pianist Cooper-Moore . FILMOGRAPHY
