[Harp-L] Re: Mojo Red

[SONNYTONE@xxxxxxx]

Someone like Mojo Red's playing, who I never heard of. I did a Rockin Red  
from the Syracuse blues station that played with a lot of tasty feel, something  
I don't much of in the blues area lately. Are these the same guys. One of  
problems in playing Sonny Terry's style is most people, even harp players, under 
 45 probably never saw him perform, and the newer guys on harp are in a 
different  direction mostly. So playing something truly traditional doesn't have 
the same  effect when they have no reference to where it came from. I need to 
find Quincy  Jones, who loved Sonny, took him 3 months to find where Sonny lived 
to do Color  Purple, but Sonny was treated like the king he was by Mr. Jones. 
- I am not even  sure if Emma is still alive, Sonny's wife, last time I 
talked to her was a few  years ago, and her name is not in the book anymore.
