RE: Fwd: [Harp-L] Lynwood Slim



i didn't forget anything.
i was simply clarifying Chris's point.
opinions are opinions... but if you want to break it
down, i personally like hearing him play, but it is
not "creative" in anyway, especially relative to the recent
evolution of the instrument... that's all i'm sayin
.. lynwood's voice it nice, but if i wanna hear
Walter Horton, i'll listen to walter horton.

I guess you forgot to mention that thisÂ


is your opinion and definition of whatÂ

constitues "creative" and "Harmonica"Â

and your definition of "accomplished harmonicaÂ

players perspective".Â

Others opinions will definately vary,Â

which doesn't make any of your claims orÂ

others claims to the contrary any less correctÂ

or any less subjective.Â

i don't think Chris was addressing any one of Lynwood's seemingly endlessÂ

talents...  Â

however, this is a harmonica forum...  Â

so from an accomplished harmonica player's perspective, one has to
admit  Â

that Lynwood doesn't play a lick that can't be found in a  Â

"Beginning Harmonica for Dummies" workbook with "bonus" CD.  Â

the execution is fine but if we're referring to "creative" and
"harmonica",  Â

Lynwood is simply not your guy. Â

well were both MN boys and I've heard him and played with him severalÂ

times. Â
Â

 Â
Â

Maybe I don't hear blues the way most of you do...to me he sounded
averageÂ

to above average in a kim wilson kinda way. Good player but not soÂ

creative but then again there are very few harmonica players that I
find toÂ

be creative. Â
