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.
