Re: [Harp-L] taking a compliment

With the disclaimer that music taste is subjective, and that "Neil Young 
Unplugged" has gotten more play in my CD player over the last couple of 
months than the next five CDs combined, I must ask. What would anyone on 
this list change about his harp playing on any of the songs on that CD? Keep 
in mind that music is a total package.

I frequently read harp players criticizing successful musicians who include 
harp playing in their music but are not harmonica virtuosos. Context, 
context, context. Given the music that Neil young plays, just exactly what 
would anyone here change to improve the overall package of his music? Just 
what is it that needs fixing within the context of his music, his sound, his 
singing, his guitar playing, etc.? What would anyone do for his harp playing 
that would improve his popularity and help him sell a few million more CDs? 
Serious question.

Peace and music,
Dave
