Re: [Harp-L] PT Gazell on Paycheck's "Take This Job"

Hi Michael and List,

   I thought I responded to this query earlier today. But I just realized 
that I only replied to Capron100 and not the list. You are exactly 
correct...that is Charlie...I played on a few cuts on that LP but not that 
one. I also played on subsequent LPs sometimes as the only harmonica player 
and sometimes with Charlie and or Terry McMillin. I have not seen that 
commercial, but I've been told that it is live footage that was matched up 
to the studio recording as close as possible. So, yes Michael and Ron...GOOD 
EARS...that is Mr. McCoy certainly my biggest influence!!! And yes, he 
continues to shape harmonica players to this day.
