[Harp-L] Did Sonny Terry Do It Upsidedown



Yes, as others have mentioned, Sonny played upside down. In Kent Cooper & Fred Palmer's book, Sonny was quoted thusly on this issue:

"They tell me that's wrong, you know. If it is, I don't wanna be right. See, if I hold the bass on the left, and then I start to move on the harp, well, then I ain't got nothin' left down there!"
