[Harp-L] Gregoire Maret

["Damien Masterson" <damienzm@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey All,

  I don't know if you guys have already been on this subject, but I just 
found out Gregoire Maret, a relatively new chrom player on the scene, will 
be touring with Pat Metheny, as well he will be featured on his upcoming 
album. You can either burn with envy or celebrate the exposure. I'll do the 
latter, just for my health. It kinda makes you wonder how someone can land a 
gig like that. Besides living in New York, graduating from the New School, 
blah blah. Oh, and being able to play.
  I just recently bought Charlie Hunter's C.D. featuring Gregoire. He is a 
pretty good player. I also bought the DVD, which features him. I have yet to 
watch it. I emailed Gregoire to congratulate him.
 His website is www.gregoiremaret.com. No sound clips. Good site. Crazy 
hairdoo.
I got pretty depressed when I first heard the news. Then I talked to my good 
friend, a bass player, who responded - "You play harmonica, imagine if you 
played bass or guitar, this would happen to you EVERY DAY!!!"
  Maybe it should.

 Congratulations, Gregoire. Tell Pat we said hi.
