Re: RE [Harp-L] To cup or not to cup

I first caught one of Hans Olson's' shows in Scottsdale in 1977, and I've
been a huge fan ever since.  My band actually covers one of his songs (with
permission Hans kindly gave me), "It's Early in the Mornin' (and the road is
gettin' light)."  It's the first blues song Hans ever wrote.  He was 14.

Paul Oscher is a monster harp player.  He played harp for Muddy!  Blues
harp pedigrees don't get much better than that.  Muddy Waters band was
hothouse for the best blues harp players in the history of the planet.
