Re: [Harp-L] George Fields

["Rob Paparozzi" <chromboy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Adios to (as Danny states "a Pioneer" in the Music/Harmonica world)...George
Fields.
Millions of people heard him on songs like "Moon River" and "Ruby" and his
stellar playing inspired so many writers and arrangers to continue composing
with The Harmonica as the LEAD voice. Thanks for the music George!!!! and my
deepest condolences to the family. Thanks to Danny Wilson for always keeping
us posted with such important info.

as we continue into this 21st century, I guess I should part with my Vinyl
"Pocket Bach" LP and talk to Danny about getting a CD,-))

Best,
Rob Paparozzi
