Re: [Harp-L] good news for jason ricci

[Mojo Red <harplicks@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the info, Gary!!

I just saw Jason last night at the Boulder Outlook
in (you guessed it) Boulder, Colo. He's extremely
excited about the deal he's signed, as are his band
mates Shawn, Todd and Steve (back again). He says
he's extremely grateful for all the support he's
recieved from us (the harmonica community). 

The band was smokin' hot, and the joint was
crawling with harp players. They played some very
cool new songs and blew the doors off some of their
classics. He showed me one of his new Joe Spiers
customs. Amazing harp! I think I'm gonna order me
one of them babies, then I'll be able to play as
good as Jason. ;-)

Harpin' in Colorado,
--Ken M.

Hoping to cathc him again on Sunday for the jam
session. Should be a major kick.
