RE: [Harp-L] Rob Paparozzi, Michael Peloquin, Howard Levy on radio

Thanks Larry--
but in this niche/cult world of American Roots Music--
Airplay and commercial success are not reality-
from the heart/for fun is always real.

I do understand what you mean about the thrill of the moment, spontanaity 
and pairings with people that haven't played together before.

BTW-the drummer on the set was none other than the legendary Bernard Purdie. 
He would help anyone to well!

This cut is available on a new compilation CD that I am offering (to break 
even if I am lucky.) More on that later.

Keep on blowin,
Michael Peloquin
