Richard - it was good to meet you and even better to hear your fine  
harp playin! Only wish I could have heard more. Glad you liked my rig.

Is SF always this harpilated? I would venture to say we have one of  
the finest concentrations of great harmonica players anywhere. I am  
sure I will forget as many as I mention as I write this list, but the  
following are all great players/recording artists and live in the area:

Norton Buffalo
Mark Ford
Charlie Musselwhite
Andy Just
Gary Smith
Dave Barrett
James "Loose" Reed
Spencer Jarrett
Kenny Neal
Birdlegg
Phil Berkowitz
Screamin' Iain
Gino Bambino
RJ Mischo (who just moved to the midwest - damn!)

Yeah - you could say we're harpilated!

Cheers
