[Harp-L] Re: Tom Morgan

[jon kip <jonkip@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Lurking on this list, I  see lots of folks with "....."  between  
their first name and their last one....I suppose either as  
replacements for  somewhat embarrassing middle names that family  
tradition requires parents to saddle their progeny with, or as  
attempts to somehow describe the talents, skills, playing style or   
demeanor of the individual in a few words....kind of a catchy calling  
card....a "nom de harp" if you will.....

This "calling card" is notably absent in the case of Tommy Morgan.....

This blatant disregard for Harmonica Tradition is just not right....

Admittedly, he can play  anything that writers (good and bad) put in  
front of him, be in tune with any section of the orchestra (including  
violins-sharp, clarinets-flat,  flutes-sharper).....has NEVER said  
"that can't be played on the harmonica" to a writer....this "name"  
thing is something that is going to be of great concern to him in  
the  business sooner or later, and somebody HAS to let him know about  
this major lapse.....

I guess I'll mention it to him...

somebody has to....this just ain't right.
