The Poncha Bullet is my 'go to' slide for lap steel. It has a warm, clear tone, and is very comfortable in the hand.

I unfortunately won't be in Cali in January but I can tell you a little story that may bring a smile. Last week I was in Kaiserslautern, Germany hosting and performing at a very cool three night blues festival that also featured Shemekia Copeland, John Lee Hooker Jr., the great Louisiana Red (now 74 years young) and others.
I hadn't seen Louisiana Red since we jammed together on a TV show at a festival in Switzerland a few years ago so it was great to catch up some. We were talking guitars and he asked me whether I was using glass or metal for slide- a perfect setup for me to break out my gorgeous Rocky Mountain slide and tell him how righteous it is. I had two so I gave him one to use during his set, and he joked, "If you're lying to me now, Michael....".
Well needless to say he had a truly sweet, rich slide tone on both acoustic and electric and he loved the slide, so of course it was my little gift to him. I told him to e-mail me if he gets a picture in which he's using it.
So I just wanted to pass on the fact that the illustrious Rocky Mountain Slide has passed the Louisiana Red test- with flying colors, naturally! Be well, my friend, and good luck at NAMM.

The glaze! Absolutely. The black and red one sounds glassiest and it looks the shiniest. Anyhoo, the greenie (Mojo Green) really wail full-tilt - you can hear all kinds of cool detail, especially upper harmonics - the cool thing is that they're not so over-powering when you hit the note, but they hang in there as it decays -
Brian Stoltz:
Hi Doc,
Got the package - thanks so much. You have certainly won me over with your slides. I'm gonna check out the black one now...
Just wanted to let you know, I sat in with Gov't Mule a few nights ago. I passed that red slide to Warren.
Colin John:
Hi Doc-
Just got it and you have the best slide yet with The Hell Hound Red-you got it perfect this time-right diameter, right thickness of material, right glaze, right length and most importantly, right tone.
I have to say that this is now my favorite.
Any chance of making the voodoo black with the same specs as this one?
Well done and congrats.
