[Harp-L] Jelly Roll Johnson

[Rupert Oysler <orupert@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jelly is a master.

Quite often becoming a master involves a process of addition: whereby 
more techniques, skills, qualities, experiences etc. are accumulated and 
added, enhancing the doer. A lot can be accomplished this way.

Another way involves subtraction: whereby the work is still done, the 
materials and techniques learned, and rather than adding, they serve to 
subtract, or remove any blocks, difficulties, preferences etc. so that 
the material, the song, the music, the feeling -- can emerge pure. 
Jelly's not a harmonica player, but a human being, who witnesses what 
that means and enables that to breathe through this tiny instrument- 
bending, swooping, wistfully twisting, pausing and fluttering....all 
without a hint of pretense.
