Re: [Harp-L] Honeydripper - the movie - more appearances

[Winslow Yerxa <winslowyerxa@xxxxxxxxx>]

One thing I forgot to mention - the interview part of the DVD contains several clips of harmonica player James Harman talking about music, even though he does not appear in the film or, as far as I remember,  receive any credit for the soundtrack (I don't think he's identified in any way, come to think of it).

Also, I didn't recognize Eddie Shaw in his onscreen appearance (he was Howlin' Wolf's saxophonist), who I last saw something like 35 years ago when he was touring with Willie Dixon (in place of Walter Horton) and gave me the Wolf's calling card, which I still have.

I've got Arthur Lee Williams "Harpin' on it".  He moved here
to St. Louis in
the '70's.  I can't find contact info for him. It could be cool if
he came
to SPAH...
