Re: Subject: Re: [Harp-L] Bobby Darin blowin'

Absolutely no quibble, Bobby Darin was an amazing talent as a vocalist 
and musician.  I was just surprised by the juxtaposition between his 
very superior skills on the vibraphone versus his rudimentary skills on 
the harmonica.  It's not just him it's a theme. Personally I've always 
liked Dylan and Neil Young.  I like the John Lennon harmonica along with 
 the Billy Joel Piano Man intro.  To any offended Bobby Darin fans I 
apologise note that I've replaced abysmal with rudimentary.  So here's 
the challenge.  Can anyone come up with a musical personality playing an 
instrument that isn't their main instrument at a skill level typical of 
the many people who attempt this on harmonica?  fjm
