Re: [Harp-L] Howard Levy overblows out of the box

["steve@xxxxxxxxxxxx" <swebb@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was at that Buckeye event, my first one. I walked around in sort of a daze, absolutely overwhelmed by the harmonica talent that I heard. Richard Hunter's performance was one of the  highlights, as was getting instruction from our departed friend, Gary Primich, who was the main act on the last night, as I remember. I got some instruction on third position, floundered in the nightly jam, and made some new friends. 
  I'm going back to Buckeye next week. Looking forward to it.
Steve Webb in Minnesota, where it's about 20 degrees and we think it's nice.
