Re: [Harp-L] A Grand Idea?

[Mojo Red <harplicks@xxxxxxxxx>]

Rufus,

You're certainly right. That's a large chunk of
change!

Perhaps you can do what I did. Spend 30 years of
your life teaching yourself in an isolated
environment -- and then attend a SPAH convention
only to find you that you don't know diddle. 

If you want to learn faster than I did then you
need to get the know-how from those in the know who
know how to teach. 

Good luck.

P.S. A new '59 Bassman reissue runs about $1,200
