Re: [Harp-L] re: what Popper means to me

The problem with John Popper is that he plays too fast and too wild, way too
exuberant. To learn harmonica properly you need to listen to Sonny Terry who
always played quietly, slowly, and somberly (can somber become an adverb?).

This is strictly a matter of taste. There is no problem with Popper. He has his own sound. He's made a pile of money playing the harp. People actually want to listen to him. I'd take his playing problems ANY day of the week.
