Thanks for the reviews, Mr. FJM (you da man!) esp. about the  one by
Weber/Kendrick. I think there's also some books recently put out by
Marshall and VOX, but I think they're historical and not technical, which
still might be helpful for vintage purchase decisions.  Might an AC-30
would be a good harp amp?  Presume any Marshall would be too loud and
feedback most of the time.

BTW, it never ceases to amaze me how many experts  we have regularly
checking into this list (I ain't one), and since the traffic is relatively
low, if the subject matter doesn't particularly suit your fancy at the
moment, you can scan and flush and still get it back on the Harmonigopher
at a later time. WOW!  This is great! So thanks again.

Blues-L - You're supposed to be able to go directly to

LISTSERV@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

and write 

SUBSCRIBE

but beware, because the list is loaded and the default is single messages,
as they come.  I had a lot of trouble getting the listserv to acknowledge
me once I was on (eg. help, info, etc -- delays of several days) and
finally I had to go to Pimmel directly (see below) to EVEN get a digest.  

It's a great list -- another bunch of experts (or raving lunatics,
depending on your tolerance for blues eccentrics...;)

FYI -- blues-l is also available via USENET:
