[Harp-L] Charlie McCoy is fantastic

[Aeskow@xxxxxxx]

--Charlie McCoy is fantastic...
--You can hear elements of appalachian 
tunes, old-country fiddle, a  touch of the blues. 

Good ear--though he'd tell you it's a lot  more than a "touch."  If you've 
never heard his "Tribute to Little Walter"  you've missed out on a joy as rare 
and strong--as my brother Mojo Red would  say--as 18-year-old bourbon.  Fiery 
Chicago playing with a hint of  Appalachia, and every note kills.  He's often 
cited Little Walter as his  favorite harp player.  To say nothing of his 
playing drums with his left  hand and trumpet with his right when Dylan cut "Rainy 
Day Women #12 & #35."  I think it's high time Charley McCoy's face looked out 
at us from a $100  bill.  Benjamin Franklin scares little children, plus he 
didn't discover  electricity.  But Charley McCoy sure did.
