[Harp-L] Re: Rob Papparozzi

[Steve Merola <srmerola@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello
I finally saw the Conan show with Dolly / Papparozzi, and it was great. 
The band was much larger than I expected, and Rob played beautifully. 
His interplay with the fiddle was an education. He's obviously from 
southern Italy. I really dug the smooth key change. He had the second 
harp on a music stand and seamlessly made the change.
He also did something that I've seen Mickey Raphael do alot, which is 
play the 2 and 4 beats on the side of the harp wiith his hand as he 
tongue slaps the chord. At least that's what it looked like to me. Nice 
moves, great showmanship and even better musicicanship.
Peace
Steve Merola
