Re: [Harp-L] Wonderful Harp (was Dangerous harp) is Wonderful World of Jim Prushankin

["G. E. Popenoe" <gpopenoe@xxxxxxxxx>]

Interesting comment about Dylan. Song writers like Dylan, Neil Young,  
and a few others that I can think of, use a minimalist style that is  
very appropriate to what they do. It is by no means poor playng.

I can play jazz, blues, country etc. But when asked to play like  
Dylan, I miss the mark.
