[Harp-L] Re: Little Wing on harmonica/American Idol

[Dave Shannon <dave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Er, sorry, "some retarded freak that could not play at all". I don't 
think anyone deserves that abuse. Even American Idol contestants. 
Perhaps you could call the show and link up with this guy, Bill, and 
give him a few pointers. No need to be unpleasant, though.

Peace
