Re: [Harp-L] I'm not a blues player...

This reminds me of jamming in  Burlington Vermont with a jazz funk kind of 
band the summer before last. Those  guys were killer but I can't remember their 
name. The guitar player was pretty  much the leader and when I told him that I 
thought they sounded like the Dixie  Dregs on a lot of their stuff his eyes 
lit up and he cracked a big smile and  said, "You into the Dregs??" After both 
of us exclaimed how killer Steve Morse  was in that band we played a blues 
kinda funk kinda jazz thing for about 15  minutes in the key of C. The sound man 
was good and that F harp cut through the  room like a steam whistle. The 
keyboard player took a sax lead, I took a lead,  the guitar player took a lead, we 
all took a couple of leads. They were pretty  much an instrumental band 
playin' in a bar but it worked for them. Man that  was fun.

...but I  can sometimes pass for one here in Vermont.  As some of you 
know, I  mainly play acoustic jazz standards and Latin music.  But since 
the  dissolution of my band, Cosa Buena, the calls I have been getting 
have  been to play amplified blues.

My second time out with the Dave Keller  Band was at a club in Bradford, 
Vermont called the Middle Earth Music  Hall.  The owner videotaped the 
show and put a couple of the songs up  on YouTube
