Re: [Harp-L] Link to Steven Tyler harmonica article

This has probably  been said already, I'm behind on my Emails, but I gotta 
say this. Steve  Tyler is the singer for Aerosmith and he's a pretty good harp 
player. He's a lot  better than Jagger, who by the way he was compared to a lot 
when he first came  out. This is kind of spooky for me 'cause I swear I was 
going to post  something about him yesterday. I learned a few chops listening 
to him.  The harp lead in Woman Of The World has a lick in it I still use  and 
I learned that in 74. I got hired with a band in 76 by playing the lead to  
Big Ten Inch. The first 3 Aerosmith albums had a pretty good amount of harmonica 
 on it, I mean it wasn't Magic Dick but it was pretty good. I think he did a 
good  job of putting the harp in Rock music.

Hmm. I  read it. Anyone heard Steven Tyler play harmonica? I didn't know
who he  was, though I know of Aerosmith. What gives here? They are making
a limited  number, so it's not intended as a sales boost (and if it was,
why 'Steven  Tyler'?) I guess it's just some sort of vanity/sweetherat
deal that's been  set up by the business guy in the video. I remember
when Johnny Shines came  out to Australia in the late seventies he had a
'Trini Lopez' model Gibson.  Now maybe Trini was a great guitar playet, I
don't know; but he was a very  big star, right around the world, and I
suspect a lot bigger than S. Tyler.  I dunno.....the world seems to get
sillier by the moment. Wyh not a Bob  Dylan model, or a Bruce Springsteen
model, or a.....an Alanis Morisette  model.......joking! just joking!
