Re: [Harp-L] Warren Bee's solo show and a question

[BiscuitBoy714@xxxxxxx]

I've done a few solo like  that but not a whole show. I wrote one about a 
year ago while driving across the  country and by the time I got back I had it 
indelible in my head to do it just  vocals and harp. I get a good reaction form 
crowds when I do it. Plus my Momma  wants me to play it that way so I guess I 
have no choice. I grew up in KY  listening to my mothers Brubeck and my 
brothers Zappa, but I gotta admit  nothing brings out the southern boy like "When 
Johnny Comes Marching Home"
     YEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

At  Riverbend, I was concerned about performing solo to a large festival 
audience,  so I hired two different accompanists, one for each performance.  The  
first accompanist showed up to rehearse and turned out to be unable to play my 
 material, even with rehearsal, and I paid him and fired him,  regretfully.  
I did the first show solo, and I was certainly sweating it,  but it worked.  
(It didn't hurt that it was a Southern town and I had a  big showpiece version 
of "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" early in the  set.)  The accompanist for 
the second show--an electric guitarist--was a  lot more professional, and I 
did the second show with  him.
