Re: Subject: Re: [Harp-L] 'moonshiner' movie with great harmonica soundtrack



Tommy played Spah one year that the Original Harmonica Band did. We all flew in from LA together. It was an excellent opportunity to sit a chat with Tommy on the plane.

His craft is unparalleled on the instrument. If you do get a chance to talk to him he is quite accessible and a nice guy.

Actually...I think Charlie looks a little like Tommy ;)

On his website..if you delve further, and click on the link to CCNow (and then on the 'cover' of the Classic Lite Album)...one can listen to three tracks off that CD...some extremely nice playing (to put it mildly): "Malaguena", Lennon & McCartney's "Yesterday" and "The Roumanian Rhapsody #1- Enesco". This is how it's done.

I wish 'we' knew him better...could meet and talk to him as a guest at SPAH? I know I'd be thrilled...

P.S. I don't know the individual movies, but there were a 'series' of Smokey and the Bandit movies late 1970's (?) with Burt Reynolds, Jerry Reed (singer/guitarist) as his friend and I believe Jackie Gleason played the Sheriff (his nemesis) for at least one or two of them. Tommy Morgan did play the music for at least one of these movies...maybe all of them. They're what I was thinking of...with moonshiners, a Sheriff and car chases.
