Hi,

Much of the harp style of Little Walter evolved from the sounds of Jump 
blues horns, and I often find it quite ironic when I hear harp players hate 
having a horn on thebandstand or get intimidated by them and clamp up 
because if they quit bellyaching about it and listen with BIGGER EARS, they 
could learn a lot from they're playing, which is precisely what Little 
Walter did.
