RE: [Harp-L] Great Toots Photos

["David R. Fertig" <dfertig@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Actually, Toots is snapping his fingers, of course, something only Diatonic 
players can do regularly, since button-pushers gotta use both hands, and 
are thus hobbled from such things as sound shaping and finger snapping and 
butt-pinching and knee slapping and knob-turning and . . . . . . .   Ya, we 
diatonic players know all y'all button-pushers are jealous, but it's okay, 
right, Howard?

ps: yeah, if I COULD play chromatic, I'd be singin' a different tune. . 
.hell, if I could sing, I'd be playing a different tune, and if I could 
play diatonic half as good as most of y'all, I'd be playin' all sorts of 
tunes . . .  but you talkin stuff about 10-holers got me all riled up!
