[Harp-L] re: harp movies



at the risk of turning this into guitar-l... it seems
Arlen Roth coached Ralph Macchio on his guitar scenes
for "Crossroads" and even played some?all?most? of the
duel himself, with Macchio "finger-synching" over it
(according to Roth). Ry Cooder, who did the score, was
supposed to play the Devil's guitarist, Jack Butler,
but they dropped him at the last minute and put Steve
Vai in instead (i guess he looks more evil?). 

harp content - John "Juke" Logan plays harp on the
score, and Frank Frost appears in the juke-joint scene
(i can't recall if he plays much though.)

i'm not sure what other movies would be good harp
films, but there was some harp on the recent Scorcese
"Blues" series.

it's really a shame no one's made a movie of the early
Muddy/Rogers/Walter days (hint hint). i wonder who
could play Walter?... ;)
