Re: [Harp-L] 5th position?Was Magic Gave now magic Dave ;-0

Talking about Dave brings back memories.I hadn't realised I have been on 
HarpL so long.He was the first one who put me onto the K spot ,the sweet 
spot etc re bending.His contributions were always very informative and he 
knew his stuff.
                       About 12? years ago Harp L did a compilation CD of 
list members submissions and Dave was on it with The Deb.My contribution was 
a version of Hideaway,not in the same league I might add.
                   There was quite an array of talent on the discs but I 
remember that The Deb stood out.I wore the disc out trying to figure out 
what he was doing,but considering that at the time I thought that you ether 
played like Bob(topical) or you played 2nd position.5th position! that be in 
the Karma Sutra.
                Now I know why I never did get it down.
               I recall Eric Clapton once saying that there were guys who 
never left their bedrooms who could play 'better' than him.I think that Dave 
would be like that in the Harp world.He sounded pro then what would he be 
like now,scary.
