RE: [Harp-L] Moorsing and other sundry musings.

["Bill Hines" <billhines4@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Now THAT's a good post! (and why I sorta miss good ole Chris - whether
this is him or one of his messengers from the garden)

Seriously, I meant to cause no trouble - Chris identified himself on
some of those posts, or talked on his forum about them, so it's no big
secret. As controversial as Chris was, I'm betting many miss his
presence here. And wish him good luck on his journey. He's a killer
player and in my opinion has a good shot to out-Popper Popper in the
realm of world/jam/jazz/whatever music involving harmonica. And that
would be cool. We know who the reigning king of blues/rock harp is -
Jason.

My impression is that Chris has been away because he is focusing on his
music and career and web site, nothing more or less, nothing bad
certainly.

As far as the "duel of haramonicaness" ah, no thanks, that contest would
be over at the first note! How about a nice ice hockey shootout,
computer programming, or better yet drinking contest. Those are my
strengths!

Rick Dempster - yeah it's confusing when pseudo-terms like that are
being researched, and you are right, don't trust everything you read on
the Internet. Scares me that people google for medical advice, etc.
Imagine what 'normal' people go through when they hear that a friend
plays 'harp' and they google for that! Not to mention "mississippi
saxophone" "mouth organ" "tin sandwich" etc...

"Chris is still a list member, he posts under different email addresses,
groovy gypsy, etc. He's had a few recently." - Bill Hines

Bill you are making trouble where none is warranted. I hereby challenge
you to a duel of harmonicaness shall our paths cross. Any Key, Any
Sytle, I will be ready. I can't promise you a good drumming but I will
send piercing sonic frequencies into your being that will lift your
negativity and spirit.

Chris is not a regular list member though he does tune in when people
ask and/or tell him about certain topics like this one. He's only been
know to post under his name in the past and recenty groovy gypsy since
his actual name has been retired for this list. In the music world
interesting or non-interest pseudonyms are often used ie; little walter,
big walter and the contemporary classic mojo red.

Chris doesn't participate very often because he is busy with the real
world of becoming a famous musician. Most recently he's been seen
hanging out with people from the Peter Gabriel clan as well as people
associated with pop icons Mariah Carey and Joe Satriani. Chris' past
bands have included former members of the Stevie Wonder band, current
members of Jason Ricc's fabulous Jason Ricci group travelling under the
guise Jason Ricci and New Blood. Chris has also been party most
excellent and crazy musicians that have been incarcerated for beating
woman or not paying traffic fines.

Chris can also be found guiding chosen people how to evolve their
psychic abilities and avoid nefarious black op missions without the use
or orogone nor the tried and true tin foil hats. As an aside from his
mystical sojourns through the various planes of existence you may also
find him training personal protection dogs, search and rescue dogs and
participating in schutzhund to the tune of the polka classic, the beer
barrel polka, with one of his Rottweilers from the notable
Schwaiger-Wappen kennels in Germany.

The moorsing as it was passed down by the wise and often snarky yogi's
is the Indian version of the Jaw Harp. It's been played for centuries
right along with polymetric beat boxes like the Ghatam, Dholki and
Mdringam and Tabla.

Currently, Chris is working on a project with Bill Barret where once
again the mighty moorsing, koomei vocals and his iconoclastic harmonica
stylings will appear. Chris also has plans to employ a special
appendage-made whistle given to him by the Pleadians during one of his
time warps to Lemuria. This special Pleadian whistle makes a ethereal
"whistling" type noise that is very close to a cross between the Earthen
penny whistle, bamboo slide whistle, the indian bansuri and shakuhachi.
Sorry to say it is because of this project that Maestro Winslow Yerxa is
forced to wait for studio microphones specifically designed for use in
the studio that were promised to him sometime ago.

Thank you,

gg
