Richard... I have seen your many posts here on Harp-L and saw you play
at 
Buckeye in 1999, I think it was.   But I had no idea your father was
Evan Hunter. 
I must have read and re-read every Ed McBain novel I could get my hands
on 
while in the Army in the Sixties. And didn't he write Blackboard Jungle,
as 
well?    As an aspiring writer who has made a living in the newspaper
biz his 
whole life, I believe I was most influenced by John D. McDonald and Evan
Hunter 
(Ed McBain). 
   And   you are just as good on the harmonica as he was as a writer. My 
condolences on his death.


Thanks Steve, much appreciated.  RH
