RE: [Harp-L] Lovesick Blues-Hall of Fame

["Steve McIver" <steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sounds to me that we need a Harpl Hall of Fame. Maybe 2 or 3 players from
each type of music
/Country-Bluegrass/Blues/Rock/Classical/Ethnic-Latin-Irish etc to be
presented each year via Virtual Hall of Frame.

I'm no expert on country harmonica (mostly because I never managed to
find the least interest in country music) However, there's one guy in
the genre who blows my mind and that's Jimmy Riddle. Both on chromatic
and diatonic, he's amazing, fast, precise, inventive. Heck, I even
enjoying listening to the one record of his I have...

Ben,

The great Jimmie Riddles!  How could I have left him out?  Another harp
player from Roy Acuff's band was Onie Wheeler, check out his version of
Bonaparte's Retreat - that is some weird-ass hillbilly honky tonk!  He
was not only a gifted harp player but he was a very fine singer and band
leader and sported a cool first name.
