Hello Harp-l people -
I'm a harmonica player in San Francisco. I used to read your posts on harp-l back in 1999 and finally had to stop reading and spend the time in my practice room.
Well, the world has done a lot of turning since 1999. Lately I've been playing a few gigs with Steve Freund here in the East Bay. Steve was the last guitarist to play with Big Walter. As you guys know -- it is absolute joy to play with someone who understands exactly where I'm coming from. So the music is good for me here and getting better all the time.
Also I just quit my day job last week after 14 years as a computer geek. When I quit they gave me 24 nights in a small hotel in Paris. (imagine!) Not being one to wait around I will be there from Oct 6 to Oct 30 and would like to know if anyone can tell me where to go in Paris to hear traditional blues and meet other blues musicians. Where are our people in Paris??
We (my daughter and I) will be staying in Montmartre - near the Mercadet Poissonier metro station. I've never been to France and this will be a huge adventure. I am sure we will get lost a lot but that's ok. Besides walking through that wonderful city, finding obscure museums, and eating wonderful food I really do hope to find other musicians.
If you like you can hear my stuff on www.bessiemaeblues.com - and also on http://cdbaby.com/cd/bethkohnen.
Please email me directly so I can send specifics on how to find me in Paris.
Thanks!! (Hi Winslow!! Hi Adam!! )
