Re: [Harp-L] Lynwood Slim
I remember once when another harp player at a gig told me I was just copying
Magic Dick. I said REALLY, you could tell? COOOOL. I had a way of doing some
of Wammer Jammer on All My Rowdy Friends and he caught what I was doing. I
think maybe all the notes have been written and all anybody really does is
rearrange them to suit his fancy no matter what the instrument being played.
It's all in what suits your fancy that makes it compelling or not. Emulation is
the finest form of flatterey.
