Re: [Harp-L] Diving Back into the Plasma Pool

Hey Mojo.. congratulations... You'll be great.   
I bet you'll like this configuration after a little while. I'm playing in a trio with harp,  guitar and bass. playing thru the PA and no drums behind us. It took awhile, but we like what we are doing now. No blues, tho :(

Anlyway, it turns out that Tera, his lovely spouse, is a terrific vocalist and she too appreciates the subtleties of a (~cough~) well-played harmonica. We have been jamming together for several weeks, done a few open mic gigs with a tentative (but hot!)Âband that just couldn't quite hold itself together (even though we slayed a the Outlook Hotel's IBC competiion).

I'm pretty pumped as this will really challenge me musically (no bass, no drums no dirty amps to lean on), and also whet my appetite for what's been missing in my life these last few years _ playing for a live audience!!! I'm quite pumped!
