<< You can learn more  in half an hour listening to Cotton play live than you 
can from years of  practicing. Something about playing professionally for 50 
years, being 
 taught by Sonny Boy Williamson, going on tour when you're 13, and playing in 
 clubs with Muddy Waters. It seems to improve the harp playing.  >>

while i appreciate the sentiment behind this, listening to someone else 
(anyone else) for thirty minutes will ~not~ take the place of years of practice.  
if it did, i would be, i don't know, bruce springsteen, maybe, or keith 
richards.
cotton didn't get that good just by sitting around listening to little walter 
play.
