  1. What movie was it where Jack Nicholson's character orders toast and the waitress tells him they don't have toast, so he asks for a turkey sandwich on toasted bread, but leave off the turkey, lettuce and mayonnaise and just bring him the bread.....something like that...it was awesome!

    I believe it was "As Good As It Gets" Helen Hunt was the waitress. She has him thrown out. Good flick.

  2. eBay or musicians friend will often have them on sale. The "Talk Box" was made by Heil. Dunlop made one too I believe. Danelectro has one out now that you can plug in and use. The previous two need a separate amplifier and microphone. Better yet, find the plans on the internet somewhere and build your own...I did. They sure are cool if you're into that 70's vibe.

  3. Twelve bar blues only indicates that there are 12 beats to a bar in a very simple chord progression of three chords. It is called a I, IV, V chord progression. For example, Johhny B. Goode is your basic 12 bar blues in the key of A. Crossorads by Cream, however, is the same three chords(A, D, and E) but is considered a 16 bar blues. Listen for the changes...they don't follow the same pattern. As to who invented it...good luck but it seems to me like it is basic music theory.

  4. There are many stories that surround this topic. You can find much information on this on the internet. Check out the Robert Johnson biography page. It mentions that he, along with Zep, and The Stones have made this "deal" with the devil. Check out the move "Crossroads" from 1986 with Ralph Macchio. It is loosley based on Robert Johnson's story. And having an appreciation for music and being an avid musician myself, I would say it is a pretty fair trade.
