Re: [Harp-L] coltrane

I've heard Magic Dick attribute Whammer Jammer to all sorts of 
musicians - harp players and non harp players, in interviews. Sure maybe it had 
multiple influences. But maybe he's just having a little fun with the 
interviewers (and listeners). It's not exactly a philosophical piece. It's  a 
good rip snorting trip through an A harp on a rock song.


 


 

Listen to the old James Cotton recording of "Rocket 88" for some of the ideas that influenced Whammer Jammer.
