Re: [Harp-L] Miller is a 12-Year-Old Harp Monster

[buzz <buzzo@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was watching that show. The kid was great. Very likeable & knows how 
to work an audience.  If he's not a one trick pony.  He's gonna be 
someone to watch . Anyway it's great to see the harmonica on prime time 
TV.  Maybe Taylor Hicks started a trend.  It would really be nice to see 
more harmonica in the limelite.  It's about time. Yes I think SPAH 
should find this kid & invite him.  Also I hope he & Taylor find out 
about this list.  It would be good for them & us.  The harmonica rules & 
its about time people were made aware of it.
  see you at SPAH
