[Harp-L] John Sebastian, Jr.

[Robert Bonfiglio <bon@xxxxxxxxxx>]

John Sebastian, Jr. is a great player as was his father in the  
classical world.  I am working on the Tcherepnin Harmoncia Concerto  
as we speak, and John, Sr. is terrific.  I have played concerts with  
John, Jr. and he is a great guitar and harmonica player on the  
diatonic.  Rob Paparozzi can tell you of his playing.

He has this country, blues, jug band style down pat.  I remember  
doing an M&M's commercial using "What A Day For A Daydream" and I  
played harp on it;  got this call on my answering machine from John,  
Jr. -"First you steal the old man's licks, now you steal the son's  
licks" and what I did not know was he was singing the jingle and  
heard my diatonic playing imitating him and new me only from my  
classical playing.

John, Jr. deserves a lot of respect and his father does as well.  I  
really have pushed SPAH to honor his father, not just Adler, as the  
finest classical player of the pioneers.

Harmonically yours,

Robert Bonfiglio
