[Harp-L] Tony Glover- My prospective

["James" <wasabileo@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I didn't realize my quesiton about Tony Glover was going to cause such a fire storm. Please let me give my prospective.
I remember my first exposure to the harp came from two player, John Mayall and Pual Butterfield. Searching for technique I found Tony's book and at the time it was the only book. IN his book I discovered Sonny Boy Williamson (I and II) Little Walter and eventually Walter Horton (I can go on and on about Forest City Joe and Jesse Fuller) I went to the Villiage (only place "hip" enough at the time) and bought these artists, and they are still in my vinyl collection scratches and all.

Tony put me in that direction. His recoreding with Koerner and Dave Ray were ok I thought Tony played the "Piedmont" Style" So now, after a long hiatus I will call "my life" and Picing up the harp again- but it was Tony Glover who put me in the right direction. 
PS I meant no disrespect to John Mayall and Paul Butterfield - (Work Song is still a boss cut)
