Re: [Harp-L] Richard Newell/King Biscuit Boy

["Blake Taylor" <taylorb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Good to see Richard discussed on this list. The guy who got me into harp
about 18 years ago put three Richard Newell songs on what was my first
"harp mix tape." I don't exactly live in a cave, but I've never heard
him discussed, played, etc.  since.  I still play "Tore Your Playhouse
Down" in my band, which is always a late night crowd favorite, and one
of these days maybe I'll get brave enough to do "Barefoot Rock."

Thanks for reviving an old memory, and giving props to an
underappreciated player. Perhaps someone else will discover him, like
this list has helped me to discover so many "new" great players (read -
new to me).

Not sure how many people know this on the list, I wasn' t posting on
list
back then but Richard Newell, King Biscuit Boy up here in Hamilton,
Canada
passed away January/2003, got a chance to meet him once & heard him a
half
dozen times or so on our Hess St strip.
