Fwd: Re: [Harp-L] non blues diatonic players

["Winslow Yerxa" <winslowyerxa@xxxxxxxxx>]

Will still lives in Berkeley, California. He gave up on overblowing 
as being "unfriendly to the mammal" (meaning, I think, that it placed 
too much strain on the muscles of the vocal tract) and instead 
designed the enabler-reed principle now used in the XB-40.

He sometimes plays out but I haven't seen him perform is quite a long 
time. He recorded with Jerry Garcia a few years back on a children's 
album, playing bass and diatonic harps.

So was Will Scarlet.

In both cases, they were still mostly blues players (at the time, 
Mike now
being a foremost chromatic jazz player, and I have no information 
about Will
Scarlett...)
