Re: [Harp-L] Latest Dylan controversy

[Winslow Yerxa <winslowyerxa@xxxxxxxxx>]

You know the saying, "here's no such thing as bad publicity."

Instead of an aging harmonica nerd (hey, I'm just looking in the
mirror) we get image of a "tall, dark-haired" harmonica player caught
up in the heady swirl of Andy Warhol and early '60s folk in New York.
And the harmonica player is something of a bad boy, bad enough to
rattle Dylan. 

I'm not so sure this is bad for the harmonica. Might add a little edge
and romance to the overall image and attract a few energetic, creative
folks.
