Re: [Harp-L] Prince has HARP player...

[David Payne <dave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I ask this on behalf of all West Virginians.... who's Prince? Just kidding, of course we all know who is in the mountain state.... He's famous here, too... I've heard nothing but good about Prince's Quality hunting dogs in Kansas.

In some seriousness THIS time, it's awesome that such a good harp player will get some mainstream exposure. He might even make it on "Charlie Murphy's True Hollywood Stories" on Chappelle Show, every time I see Prince, I think of the basketball game in that skit, followed by pancakes.
The instrument needs things like this to get back some of its former popularity and glory. A lot of people will be inspired to take it up from this.... it's good news for all.

Prince has added Fred Yonnet playing harmonica in his live band. This 
came about as a result of a successful studio collaboration and they 
will go back in the studio again soon.

I think this is great news for all harp players! Here's a link to New 
York Times recent review of a live show:

Best to all, Rupert
