Re: [Harp-L] "All Blues" - Sam Friedman

Sam -
The title should be- "Anything but blues"; there's some degree of confusion
between the influences if I may add- Howard Levy style and others. If I had
to take away all of your overblowing/ position playing techniques (which
you are good at) from the show, the blues rendition is just aweful. And I
don't understand the need for that extra playing- it affects the outcome of
your product in a negative way. In this regard, Todd Parrot and TJ Klay
stand out as impressive players.

Also, listen to what Carlos del Junco has to offer and take it from there.
