It also says in the LW book that Walter says he shook the harp, not his 
head(in a 'no' motion), which I have personally seen Big Walter do. i think he 
probably did both. BTW, I just finished the LW book, and I will have to say I 
loved it for
the way the sessions Walter did are so detailed, and all the personal 
reminisces
of his friends, mentors, and fellow players. The thing I found quite sad is 
the 
way he ended up and how he lived his life in later years. It really hit a sad 
spot with me and I drew parallels to way too many blues men I have worked 
with and have known. All in all, a great book for blues harp players(IMHO), kudos 
to Scott Dirks and his cohorts for writing it.
