Re: [Harp-L] Sugar Blue, Code Blue

[Joe Lempkowski <mr_jlemko@xxxxxxxxx>]

The first time I saw Sugar Blue was in 1982.  I've
been a fan of his harp playing for about 25 years.  I
saw him weekly for about two and a half years at the
Kingston Mines.  I've always enjoyed his playing and
he had a super tight band.  Blue is a true showman.

I never understood why people looked on Blue's playing
with such disdain.  Additionally, he was pretty
supportive of players that were starting out.  I hear
a lot of his playing in the current crop of players,
but very few seem to cite him as an influence.
