"I personally enjoy reading posts
that are from someone's personal  experiences...and are harmonica
related...but are not total technical  jargin."
 
....about Sonny's Sonny & Brownie tales of the old days.  I SO  agree with 
you.  They're a window into the past from someone who lived it,  traveled with 
and knew those men.  I'm a big fan of Sonny Terry's harp  playing.  Hearing 
first hand about what went on behind the scenes...their  everyday lives is 
priceless.   My only concern is that Sonny Jr. is  going through a very tough 
post/mid surgery recuperation period of his own  right now .....and I'm aware it's 
painful for him to spend that much  time telling us his tales.  His heart is in 
the right place....but at what  cost?  I'd love to see all of this in...if 
not a written book per  se...at least a photo-journal of Sonny & Brownie, with 
Sonny Jr's  commentary.  Maybe with a CD attached of some of the shows Sonny &  
Brownie played? Even some of Sonny's music now...because he's so  good.   Now 
that I'd pay for....
