[Harp-L] New Band

[mark wilson <markwilson53@xxxxxxx>]

I've been invited by a local guitar player to join his band.  Here's  
a list of the stuff they're into,

Tom Petty, Who, Stones, Beatles, Beach Boys, Bryan Adams, Kinks,  
Rascals, Neil Young, Lovin Spoonful, John Melloncamp
Jackson Brown, Gin Blossoms, Elvis Costello, etc....


I like a lot of this music, but frankly, when it comes to playing  
harmonica, I prefer playing the blues.  This summer I had an informal  
jam session with another guitar player who played mostly 60's and  
70's folksy type rock material.  We had a decent time, but I didn't  
feel I played well and I never really got into the music, so we never  
hooked up again, although he wanted to.  I'm afraid of getting myself  
into the same situation here.  My gut tells me, this type of music  
doesn't really lend itself to much harmonica,  as most of the  
original material has very little harmonica in it, so I think I'm  
probably going to pass.

Anyone out there on the list have experience playing with this type  
of band?  Looking for some advice and feedback before I call him back  
tomorrow.
