Re: [Harp-L] Rockford Files...



Can anyone tell me why whoever played on Rockford Files played it so sloppy?

Was it that basic disdain for diatonic that some accomplished old school chromatic players seem to have for the diatonic, thus never having honed any bending or tonal chops on that instrument?

Maybe (I doubt it) the producer demanded slop that sounded like someone who had been playing diatonic for 3 months.

there, I said it, I feel better. I feel that the more that there is sloppy harmonica in the mainstream, the more that it sets us back as musicians.

Eddie Gordon has also claimed that he was first to record the Sesame
Street theme for PBS, even though Toots Thielemans was used for the
final version that played until a couple of years ago.
