At 2.58 in this video, the interviewer asks Derek Trucks about his use of his slide, and why Derek chose the dunlop slide. Derek talks about his history with the slide guitar, his preferences, and ends up commenting on the coricidin bottle saying "That's what i need. And that just became what I've used forever".
