[Harp-L] Paul Butterfield

   Iceman you are absolutly on the mark when you said P.B.'s playing jumped 
right off the record. I suggest that oneconsider the fact that Paul and 
company were regulars at the clubs in Chicago because they rocked everyones 
behinds off. These clubs had all the harp studs come in on a regular basis so 
the people who frequented these clubs knew what the real deal was. Iceman I'm 
guessing you are a child of the 60's as am I so when a band like Butterfields 
came around it was a life changing experience (not unlike Jimi Hendrix).
        Paul Butterfield is and always will be a legend, one that played harp 
without gadgets but with urgency and soul. It remains to be seen if current 
fav's will have leave a lasting impression on the blues scene.
