Each generation is influenced by the music of their times.  I think Popper
will help popularize the harp some.  Who else?  Since I'm not 20 anymore
I don't pretend to know the new stuff like I did. Is there other new music
that showcases the harp like the Blues Travelers?

In my 'formative' years I listened to Mayall, Buffett's player (fingers taylor?),
Magic Dick, and Dylan.  Even guys that weren't that good, played some because
of their blues influence, e.g. Jagger, Daltry, Joel, etc.)
