Re: [Harp-L] Sam Myers cd?

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

Big Harmonica Bob is a good guy, and a fine, hard-working harpman with a 
great band, they do some real lively blues here in SoCal.

I first met Bob and his great guitarist Phil  (aka "Thunderbird" ) when 
they helped out with backup music and harp coaching duties at Jon Gindick's 
Jam Camp in Anaheim last month (November?)   And I've since jammed with the 
guys (and gal, I forget her name but the Barnburner's female singer is 
great!) ) at Bernie Pearl's great little Monday night 'lectric jam at 
M'Dears (7717 S. Western, L.A.)   Good folks, honest blues, street 
sensibilities with panache.

Big Harmonica Bob and the Barnburners also host jams at a venue in 
Huntington Beach, (Martini Blues?) I haven't made the trek, but it's gotten 
good feedback.

Back to laying out sandbags in SoCal.
