[Harp-L] Recent Rick Estrin visit to Chile, what a nice guy!

[Javier Argomedo <jargomed@xxxxxxx>]

Dear friends,
I just wanted to share with you an amazing experience I had last 
weekend, one of the finest and greatest harmonica players was in town 
here in my country, Chile. Rick Estrin came with his band Little Charlie 
and the Nightcats, along with many other blues musicians (Melvin Taylor, 
Guitar Shorty, Lurrie Bell, etc). They gave a great show on stage as 
usual and were the main attraction, with all the amusing details, 
awesome soloes, cigar trick, etc, but what I enjoyed the most was to get 
together with Rick at his hotel for a lesson, man! what a lesson! four 
hours talking about harmonicas, pioneers of the bluesharp, listening to 
old recordings, digging into SBW (I and II) styles, had the master of 
the bluesharp tone right there, plus he showed me all his pasion for our 
little instrument, what an experience! thanks Rick!
cheers,
