Ahemm.. This is a bit embarrassing. Could someone please tell me more about
Kim Wilson. What bands has/is he playing in?  Does he pucker or
tounge-block? etc.?

Denmark is somewhat remote, and there's not that big a market for newer
blues-stuff, except for the real famous guys like Robert Cray.

I'm asking about Kim Wilson, because he plays on the recording "Nick of
Time" by Bonnie Raitt (1989), .. and gee I wish I could play like that. Is
there anyone on the list, who may provide some information on this record
in particular (keys, riffs etc.).

Yours

Bo.


BTW: On pitch control: I bought a medium-priced DENON CD player with
adjustable pitch control (+-15%). The salesman swore that no one could use
a thing like that, but I guess he was wrong :-)
