[Harp-L] Sharing Harmonicas

["Nate in the Blues Room" <thebluesroom@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've always been told this is a No No.
I don't share my own harps, even with better players than me,
but then I'm not Jerry Portnoy or Junior Wells am I.

I could be misreading what I've just watched on a YouTube clip
but I swear Jerry is setting up a harmonica and mic for Junior Wells.

I've put the clip on my blog here: http://thebluesroom.blogspot.com/

The scene is right at the end (sorry, don't know how to make clips shorter).

Try watching at about 6.06 (time wise), you'll see Junior
reintroducing Muddy Waters, asking him to return to the stage BUT take
special note of Jerry in the background, I'm sure he flicks a harp
from his back pocket, sets it up on the mic and right at the end of
the clip hands it out for Junior to take. I don't know if I'm seeing
this right but my question is: If Junior took the harp and mic from
Jerry did Junior know where the harp had just come from? Haha. But
then maybe it was a brand spanking new harp (yeah right!)

Wasn't/Isn't Jerry a smoker? Ohh, yuck!
