Re: [Harp-L] re: watch it and weep

["Dave Murray" <dlmurray@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Interesting how different people perceive music. Can he play? Yes. Did I 
enjoy listening to that? No, I thought it was awful. Too fast and busy, when 
it was finished there was no tune lingering in my head. I could appreciate 
the time that he must have spent in the woodshed, but to me it was not good 
music at all. Might just be my lack of sophistication, and I must disclose 
that I can only tolerate lightning riffs in very small doses.

I hope that I don't come across as a curmudgeon, but demonstrations of 
skilled accomplishment may not be examples of good music. I think that that 
applies to the harmonica. Perhaps my reaction to that guitar piece is the 
same as the reaction that so many harp players have to the harp player who's 
name shall remain unspoken.

Peace and music,
Dave
