I can't remember if I read or heard that Jeff Carp played the chromatic 
part on All Aboard which is on the Fathers and Sons album (Muddy 
Waters). I have the LP around here somewhere but I'll be darned if I can 
find it.
Anybody know?


Answer: Yes he did. I was taught by Norman Dayron at New College of California. (In Sausalito at the time)

Dayron was the producer of Fathers and Sons. I took a bunch of classes from him including Ethnomusicology and Recording Arts. He told us that Carp died in an accident at sea. He used to rave about Carp's playing, and said that had he lived, he would be the best harp player  out there. (This was around 1974). -Dave Hoerl
