[Harp-L] Re: Lil Walter

[Robb Bingham <robbingham@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Toungblock,

Yes. LW did, in fact, use an Echoplex on all his
recordings. As a master, though unsung [due to
Industry Racism], composer he was haunted by Bach's
use of ~fugues~ using one ~voice-part~ [the opening
riff] to weave a musical fabric with imitative
counterpoint, by looping the non-tongue blocked 3-6
with the puckered 9 on the end of the riff. Really
ahead of his time.

Play nice,
Robb

PS:[Just got ~Beans Are Fine~. Great old CD,
remastered, from Mike Turk.
