[Harp-L] Welcome Helge

["Richard Bush" <rcush@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I haven't seen a welcome aboard issued to Helge Tallquist, so--welcome to Harp-l Helge and thanks for sharing the gear that you used to produce your exquisite cd..."plays George "Harmonica" Smith".  I know that this cd was discussed several threads back, but for those that missed it--you owe to yourself to get ahold of this release in which he nails Smith's chromatic tone and 3rd position diatonic nuances.  The cd comes in a neat metal case with a booklet relating his relationship with Smith that began with a concert in Stockholm and culminated with Helge leaving his native Finland to travel to California at Smith's invitation.  So, hopefully, Helge will have some tales to share with the discussion group.  Draw him out, guys, I'm just a shy lurker.

See ya--
Rick
