" He's often cited Little Walter as his favorite harp player ... "

Too true about the elements of little Walter being a heavy influence on Charlie . Fact is ( I have written about this in other posts ) about when Charlie in his professional beginnings was being " pitched " to the RCA A&R man in Nashville ( none other tha Mr. " Guitar " Chet Atkins ) , Charlie was actually turned down because he was " two Blues " sounding , neeeeeedless to say that Charlie put the " mod's " to his stuff to give it more of the country feel and zippo a legend is born .

Terry McMillen name was mentioned by member Chris Michalek , a good call by Chris , Terry McMillen is one of the best in the books , listen to his rendition of Amazing Grace if you want to walk around in the clouds and take a lesson in the upper register from a master of the school of smooooooooove :)

Sincerely :
