Re: [Harp-L] Sonny and Brownie

[Moandabluz@xxxxxxx]

Sonny and Brownie had an album out that featured some guests, like Arlo 
Guthrie, and maybe even Randy Newman. that album was one of my early favorites and 
I went to see them perform in Minneapolis, probably mid-70s, opening for   
Bonnie Raitt. It's an easy night to remember. We had to clear the venue because 
of a bomb threat (on the campus of U of Minn) and I was standing outside when I 
heard this college student messing with harp. He was getting that blues 
'bite' sound that I was looking for (this was early in my harp days). I was still 
trying to figure out second position and that really discouraged me for some 
reason. Anyway, when we finally got the show going. Sonny and Brownie were 
great,as expected. Bonnie Raitt called out Tony Glover as a guest for one song 
during her set and he was rather disappointing, since I had been trying to figure 
out his book for awhile before that. All in all, though, a very good night and 
I'm always glad I went.
Still a fool for the Harp
