[Harp-L] re a good Gussing

["Robert Venables" <robert.venables@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Lee Sankey is an absolute monster player, a lot of Kim Wilson influence, and a lot his own very inventive phrasing and licks, he has some clips on Youtube & a site (on Myspace I think). Anyone who has met him will testify he has a desire to succeed in all things that is positively scary. Check him out

About 7 years ago my band was playing a small sunday afternoon gig 
at a small holiday village on the mid north coast of Australia.
I noticed a guy near left of stage obviously checking out my 
harp playing.During a break he asked if I minded him having
a blow in the next bracket, a couple of choice questions let
me suspect that he probably knew his way round the harp.
After the rest of the band agreed he got up on the next number.
I kicked it off then handed the mic to him. Two or three notes
later let me know this guy had tone and chops, the other guys 
in the band grinned in agreement, I gave the mic to him and 
let him jam with the band on the next number while I sat out 
front to hear what my amp (sonny junior 2) was really supposed 
to sound like. He made it Sing and Swing. He was an
english guy on holiday in OZ,said his name was Lee Sankey.
