Re: [Harp-L] Pathetic and Morbid

["Chris Michalek" <chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

oh c'mon now, I'm no music historian but Victor Herbert, Theodore Morse and John Philip Sousa were around during that time surly most of you regognize those names.  Oh you're a blues musician? Ever hear of Rev Gary Davis I believe he was playing around that time. I think DeFord Bailey came up in about 1910. Not sure on that...but it was way back then. Gus Cannon and Noah Lewis, hey he's a harmonica player. how many of you own Gus Cannon's Jug Stompers CD?

People will be remember and those are the folks off the top of my head.
