Re: [Harp-L] John Hammond, Jr.

["46long Blake" <46long@xxxxxxxxx>]

My dad dragged me to see John do a solo show in a very small jazz club when
I was 16 and had just been goofing around with the harp. I grudgingly went,
and was transformed that night. Now, compared to lots of you folks, I still
only goof around, but John ignited something in me that night that's been
burning there for 20 years now.....
