Re: [Harp-L] International Blues Challenge



I also wanted to add that my fellow Gemini astronaut and "accomplice" Dane Paul Russell and I had a great time. we got to check out Scott Albert Johnson, Bobby Blackhat (at the Rum Boogie Jam), and Gus from harp-l and saw a *great* number of excellent harp players in bands ,who probably don't know about harp-l (I was spreading the gospel). IBC in Memphis is mecca for blues. My 2nd year and I'm going back next year. I'm hoping Dane will perform, I think he "got it" while he was there. 

We both played at the Rum Boogie jam Thurs night, and Dane went up with Bob Margolin and did a kick-@ss job on Friday night. Then on Saturday night barreling down I-40 we blew the top of the radiator off the Miata and the fun ended. A story for another time. 

Next year I'm going to organize a harp-l get-together at IBC so we can all take a few minutes to hang out. Maybe a few of them, a breakfast and happy hour type deal. I wish it was next week!
