Re: [Harp-L] Homesick James passes offlist

Oh heck no!  I appreciate all that old technical info and who did what, when, where, why and how.  This is really obscure stuff.

To me, it seemed in that interview that they were each trying to outdo the other.  Funny cause there was about 350 years of age between the 4 of them.

I havn't found the interview, but I will find it and then I'll tell you exactly what the old timer said.

I appreciate your will to clarify this historic stuff.
