What do you want on your gravestone?
 
"Here lies Joe Harmonica Player. He sounded a lot like one of the ODBGs."
 
or
 
"Here lies Joe Harmonica Player. He had his own sound."

<< Rick Estrin plays his style superbly, as does Kim,  and 
many others, and from all the info I know of he TB'd mostly.>>

Not to be too controversial, but I just don't hear it.

Estrin and Wilson play great stuff acoustically using hand wah wah, but it still 
sounds like a cheap imitation to me. Sonny Boy had this amazing ability to play 
the notes "wheezy" which they don't have, and when they do it, it all sounds so 
clean...

To me, no one has properly nailed Sonny Boy's style. And it's just as well, 
since I'd rather musicians went for their own style...
