Well..., I shouldn't..., but it was actually Goliath of Gath, that infamous
Old Testament Philistine who taunted the armies of Israel by playing a
version of "I'm gona tear yo' playhouse down" on a Blues harp that predated
any of the European lines by some two plus thousand years.
When young David, enraged because he couldn't duplicate Goliath's "Shaky
Jake" drone... Let fly a slingshot's worth of smooth stones, he won the day,
stole the harp, became king... And the rest, as they say... Is "history"???
For the stats about his height and such, check out 1 Samuel 17.
Sorry, too much coffee,
Brad Trainham

Who was/is the tallest blues harp player? How tall was Big Walter Horton?
