[Harp-L] Hip Hop Harp

["Harmonica Jervis" <harmonica@xxxxxxxxx>]

Sam's 2 cents (on virtuosity) just gave me the push to go for that
hiphop-band and make the harmonica work in there. The amplified harmonica
has a great percussive quality, human beatboxing and all. It could be the
pathway for the harmonica reaching out beyond the "little subculture".

Any of you guys taking this adventure on as well? Or have tried and been
successful on your quest?

question worth considering not just by players but by a public that is
actually interested. We need a pop music environment where there's not just
one harp guy that people know of- John Popper- but rather one where there
are dozens of John Poppers. >>>>>>>>>>snip>>>>>>> Until the harp starts
seeping into lots of kinds of music, weather a guy is a "virtuoso" won't
really mean anything beyond his or here little subculture.>>>>>>>>>
