I guess you forgot to mention that thisÂ
is your opinion and definition of whatÂ
constitues "creative" and "Harmonica"Â
and your definition of "accomplished harmonicaÂ
players perspective".Â
Others opinions will definately vary,Â
which doesn't make any of your claims orÂ
others claims to the contrary any less correctÂ
or any less subjective.Â

i don't think Chris was addressing any one of Lynwood's seemingly
endlessÂ
talents...  Â
however, this is a harmonica forum...  Â
so from an accomplished harmonica player's perspective, one has to
admit  Â
that Lynwood doesn't play a lick that can't be found in a  Â
"Beginning Harmonica for Dummies" workbook with "bonus" CD.  Â
the execution is fine but if we're referring to "creative" and
"harmonica",  Â
Lynwood is simply not your guy. Â

Â
well were both MN boys and I've heard him and played with him severalÂ
times. Â
Â
 Â
Â
Maybe I don't hear blues the way most of you do...to me he sounded
averageÂ
to above average in a kim wilson kinda way. Good player but not soÂ
creative but then again there are very few harmonica players that I
find toÂ
be creative. Â

But  Â

whose  Â
