RE: [Harp-L] Are there any legendary harp players from Texas?

[Michael Fugazzi <mfugazzi67@xxxxxxxxx>]

Actually, our guitar player doesn't care much for SRV.
 He's a huge Jimmie Vaughn fan.  He also digs guys
like Roy Buchannon and Robben Ford.  There are too
many SRV knock offs much like there are too many
Little Walter clones.  

That doesn't mean I am disrespecting those on the
list.  I think many of you know what I mean.  Most the
list seems to strike a balance between imitating and
searching for their own voice.
