RE: [Harp-L] another harpish little wing

WOW! Everybody's commenting on the version with Mickey Raphael but this
one to me is *far* better as a song on the whole. Putting the harp aside
for a second, the piano and guitar solos here were just right on and
moved me. Popper's playing is great and fits as well. You can tell it's
Popper easily enough, lots of his signature riffs here, but I think he
does a great job. Loved Mickey's playing on the other one too, such
tasty octaves. But to me this version musically by the this group is far
better. Long live Warren Haynes! I'm saving this one, it's inspiring.

i found another version of Little Wing that i'd missed on my first pass
through the jukebox.  it's from the 1993 ritz power jam, with warren
haynes, bernie worrell, and a bunch of others.  the harp on this one is
by john popper.

i would note, too, that i've heard our own dennis gruenling play a very
tasty version of this song, though i have no recording to share.  you'll
just have to catch him live.

I feel like I owe it...to someone.
