Re: [Harp-L] Show your stuff

["Bill" <bill.eborn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't know about this, I'm only learning and painfully all too aware of my 
limitations but i also know of lot of very good musicians -Brighton's 50 
miles from London, a bit cheaper, a hell of not nicer, by the sea and has a 
great creative community - and I have never encountered anything but support 
and encouragement, especially on the local jazz scene.

I think a lot of ego stuff comes from insecurity, I know that's true because 
I'm horribly insecure about my playing and can get a bit prickly sometimes 
but opening up and allowing people in, as well as being open for 
constructive criticism is great therapy for that.

So I think showing stuff is great and I'd like to show some more.  I've got 
a blues harp gig on wednesday (Bradshaw's, Western Road, Hove-actually)  and 
like to take some footage of that if i can - only on a mobile phone - but i 
think I might be able to run the sound off my Zoom H2???  My phone's a Nokia 
5800.

One of the things i like doing on diatonic is 1st position blues. I'm 
planning to do a couple of 1st position things where I'm playing melodies, 
Blue Monk and St Louis Blues most probably and i'd like to know what people 
think of it.  What I'm trying to get is that Satchmo trumpet sound which is 
what i unsterstand inspired some of the pre-war 1st position players, Blues 
Birdhead being the obvious example.

Thanks

Bill
