Re: [Harp-L] Harp Tutor Needed for Santa

[Bobbie Giordano <bogio@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Late night... belated note! :)

Thanks, guys... and you're welcome!  You are apparently right, too, Nate, 
about it being Blind Owl Wilson, as I found the Canned Heat tune [called 
"Christmas Blues"] on no less than *8* compilation albums for Christmas 
songs of the Rock, Blues and R&B genres.

The first one below, Blue Yule, has a pretty cool bunch of obscure tunes 
in general; quite different from most of the others.

Blue Yule: Christmas Blues and R&B Classics
Billboard Christmas Greatest Hits
Billboard Rock & Roll Christmas
Blues Christmas
20th Century Masters - The Christmas Collection: Blue Christmas
Holiday Legends: Rock and Roll Christmas
13 of the Best: Rockin' Xmas
Southern Rock Christmas

A couple Christmas compilations by Alligator Records also have quite a 
bit of harp on them by William Clarke, Little Charlie & the Nightcats, 
Carey Bell, Cephas & Wiggins, etc.  Amazon has these as well as Blue Yule.

BTW, Nate...  You may end up with a musician when that young dancer grows 
up.  My son's a keyboardist these days, [had over a dozen play dates in 
November!]  But, around age 2, his favorite thing was to dance in front 
of the TV to Tommy Morgan's theme song for Sanford and Son.  Eventually, 
I just recorded it onto a cassette tape one night so he could play it 
whenever he liked!  And, boy, did he ever!! :)  Then... as it turned out, 
Tommy heard that little anecdote from me the first time I met him, and 
we've since become good friends!  Funny, small ol' world... ;)

Happy New Year, y'all!
Bobbie
