[Harp-L] REF VOL 44 ISSUE 26 HARPERS GIGLIST UPDATE

["Brasso" <brasso9@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH;

I was wondering if all you top professional Harmonica players have ever heard of  STANLEY BEHRENS, perhaps one of the most versatile and gifted Harp players I've ever heard.
He has performed with Bonnie Raitt, Ruth Brown, Cash McCall and Bo Diddly to name a few.  He has also recorded on 3 albums with Jimmy Smith and has done 2 CD's with Willie Dixon.
He was with Canned Heat from 1999-2005 and played Harp, Sax, Flute and did a lot of the vocals, since one of his mentors was Alan "Blind Owl" Wilson, the original Harp player with Canned Heat.

When not traveling, he has written and played several TV scores also.  He will be appearing at The House Of Blues in W. Hollywood on 18, April with "THE LA BLUES ALLIANCE", who's new CD is due to be released in May.  Members of the band include Keb Mo, Sonny Landreth, Mike Finnigan, Bob Glaub, John "JR" Robinson, Amy Keys, Scruffy Waldren and Bob Glaub.

In case you haven't heard of him, check out Danny's Gig List , under LA Blues Alliance or better yet check out
