Hey Guys,

   Re: the Hip Hop Harp, if you get a chance, check out what I played on
Cyndi Lauper's CD "Hatfull of Stars" a song titled:
"Broken Glass"...not exactly pure hip-hop but they call it "New-Jack"
groove.

   Although I played some solos, the crux of my performance was comping
rhytmically with the hip-hop groove.

    I also having a "Hip-Hop" groove written for me by ex Joe Jackson
Guitarist Vinnie Zummo and hope to include it on a forthcoming CD.

   a few months ago I played on a hip hop version of the "Sanford and Son"
theme in a rap format.....

   As harmonica players we should always be open to to "new forms" and how
we can fit in....it's not only 'fun'...but helps pay the bills,-))

Love & Peace,
Rob Paparozzi
