Re: [Harp-L] re Death of Live Music/Not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I played at # 9 Bleeker last Sat.  night in NYC and was surprised at the 
reaction we got. It was a jam situation  and I only played harp on 1 song because 
a friend showed up (a psychiatrist,  came in handy) and did his thing. I ended 
up playing guitar all night and doing  vocals. Drunk guitar guy shows up and 
plays too loud, tellin' me to turn up, I'm  telling him that he could turn 
down and we would have better stage  control..............there goes the space 
shuttle......waaayyyy over his head.  Wait a minute, before it got started this 
guy comes out of nowhere and we did  flow on some blues like things a couple 
of times before the crowd got there. It  felt great. So anyway, I have to play 
guitar all night and I thought it sucked  (except for my originals of course) 
but at the end of the night I noticed that  the whole crowd was with me and 
loving it. Live music does have its place if  approached right. Make 'em laugh 
and make 'em dance and your mistakes aren't  even noticed.
        I was told that a blues  jam would be a good idea every 4 or 5 weeks 
so I guess it went alright.  Next time I'm playin' harp a lot though, maybe 
some sax.

Hi Harp  people! 

Think out of the box!!!

I live in NYC. The band I work  with plays in the
NYC/Brooklyn area 5 nights a week.  {Myspace/harpburn}
NYC is a tuff city to get a flowing because you  have
the best musicians in the world coming to perform here
in our  bigger venues and the talent living here is as
daunting. I have been in  many bands and in the past
have played in this city for 3 people to  thousands
