Re: [Harp-L] Harp with bluegrass

[Larry Sandy <slyou65@xxxxxxxxx>]

Mike Stevens is a great player with many surprising licks.  He's one of the best. http://www.mikestevensmusic.com/home ; Hold onto your hat!
 
  However, I believe he has converted from Richter to one of Brenden Powers tunings.  "Power Bending" I believe.

  I bought one of his harps with his special tuning but gave up before learning to play it.  I guess I'm too deep into Richter for my own good.

Regardless of whether you can a Kindle, you can view some of the pages of the Kindle version from the Amazon website.




It's available for Kindle and standard large size music book size  each version costs about $15. The music book comes with a CD, the Kindle does not ?




Be warned: Mike Stevens overblows and he plays very fast. Check out his music CDs. They can be slowed down with Amazing Slow Downer ($50/) or other programs/ machines.


More of his albums are available as MP3 downloads than CDs But if you pull down the MP3 songs, you can sample them.


also, truckload of youtubes:

Bob, have you checked out Whistling Wolves on You Tube?  You will find them to 
your liking, IMHO.

This is just one examle but there are more.  

I try to play with local bluegrass folks but without amping my sound gets lost, 
so I just usually sit out.  LOL

Does anyone have suggestions on ways to accompany bluegrass music? Does anyone 
know of any recordings of a harp with bluegrass?  I have a son that plays banjo 
and has asked me to jam with him.  Thanks for any info.
