=====================================

That reminds me of my conversation with Mark and Robben Ford before their 
gig here in Prague. Mark told me that Robben (who used to also gig 
professionally on sax too) plays some harp and, back when they were kids, 
was the one who showed Mark how Butterfield and other guys get that cool 
vibrato. So I asked Robben if he still blows harp a bit and he just smiled 
and said nahh. Then Mark jumped in with a laugh and said, "Robben can play 
anything he wants to!"
Hey, if Mark Ford was my brother and bandmate, I wouldn't admit to playing 
harp either! ;-)
