[Harp-L] Mel Lyman



On the Blues Cruise 2005 I was gratified to be able to spend a lot of time with Taj Mahal,
relaxing by the pool talking about old friends, politics, and whatever came to mind.  At one point
the conversation turned to Mel Lyman.  "Now that boy could PLAY" growled Taj.   He reminisced
about seeing Mel at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965.  "He could make you dance and then the next
song he'd turn around and make you cry."

Pretty high accolade coming from Taj Mahal!  Funny how Mel Lyman is rarely mentioned here on harp-l.
