I saw this show in San Jose a few months ago.  I saw some other posts
regarding the show, but  I don't know if anyone mentioned it--for those who
haven't heard Michael Peloquin play, he sat in with Jason and absolutely
tore it up himself on both sax and harp.  Great work, Michael.

F-
It might not convince you, me or harp players, or musicians in general -but
the general public--that is who really matters--- they can relate to those
references.

this is also the same public that would probably have a hard time telling
the difference between fair harp playing (Tyler, Popper?) and someone great
like JR.

It was also a visual description--something the video generation public can
relate to.

A big newspaper EVEN MENTIONING a harmonica player who is TRULY GREAT and
NOT A POSER---is a miracle in and of itself!
