[Harp-L] Harp-l in Central PA

["Bill Hines" <billhines4@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mike Easton and John Merx already alluded to our situation here in
Central PA. Hey, it's challenging but it's all good in the end...

Tonight harp-l members Reach Mann and Froggy's young protégé Nicholas
made a pit stop to the Central PA Blues Society jam in Harrisburg.
Unfortunately, it was an unusual night as we also had some special
guests from Clarksdale, Mississippi and the jam did not take it's usual
format, where they would have had more space. But Reach and Nicholas got
up for the first set and showed their stuff. Reach not only showed his
chops on the harp, but played an amazing collection of percussion
instruments as well. And Froggy's protégé Nicholas, what the hell, is
this kid 19, 20, or what, but I'm telling you folks, he blew the roof
off the dump in just two songs. Lookout, Jason Ricci! Froggy has done
good work with this kid. Wow. Too bad we couldn't hear more of the both
of them, but it was a great sampling and considering the circumstances
we're glad we got to hear some of their stuff as they work their way
home across the U-S-A from SPAH.
