have to echo everything SmoJoe says about christelle's playing. I'm completely blown away by her. Her melodious phrasing, her complete understanding of a song from a vocalist's standpoint..and from 'inside' the song. She gets the entire meaning...whether it's pathos,

Yeah, I didn't even know what Pathos was, so I had to look it up. I thought he was a Musketeer. (i.e. Athos Pathos, Aramis & Dartagnan).

love, joy, heartbreak...she manages to convey every nuance to the listener. I like a lot of harmonica players. I only love a couple of harmonica players.. Christelle is one of the latter and the only harmonica player I want to play EXACTLY like, or who touches my heart with every note, every phrase.

So, in other words, does this mean that you don't want to do a duet with me on:
1..... You May Think (the Cars)
2..... Got Caught Stealing (Jane's Addiction)
3..... Late in The Evening (Paul Simon)
Or, maybe a jazz tune... 4..... Like Young (Andre Previn)

I'm a huge fan of Jason Ricci's....and she plays in a style which would complement his (I'd give anything to hear them both together on the same stage and on a recording). I'd also love to hear her and SmoJoe duet together...since there's a general simpatico working with all three of them, as well as major talent. Whoo!

We would have to something that fits me.....like........Crazy (lol) (Patsy Cline)

One thing, Smokey...she isn't going to go to Florida and live in the Boondocks, lol...I want her to come to New York and be my teacher, before she becomes rich and famous. So there. ;)

Well Elizabeth, I was thinking of moving to the Mull of Kentyre and be the lighthouse keeper but I may just relocate to Paree. I lived there in 59, so I think I could do it again.

I can't imagine why she hasn't been snapped up by some huge record company and major producer...what's wrong with people out there? Don't they have ears?

I don't think those people check lists like this nor you-tube. Funny thing about that tune Daddys Gone to Knoxville. I go through there every year on my way to the Buckeye. I always hit a traffic jam.

Ciao Bella, you couldn't have known when you sent this that it was on
my birthday. What a wonderful present. I have listened to it several
times (as well as all your other work as soon as I can get it), and I
have to tell you that you are about the cleanest, smoothest player I
have ever heard. You need to get an agent. Country is very big in
Denmark and the rest of Scandinavia right now. You need to cash in on
that. You need to do it NOW.

love Jose di la fumare

Why aren't YOU doing workshops? I'm going to loose friends and make
enemies here, but there isn't anyone who can touch you. Are there
faster players? Yes. Are there  fancier players? Yes. Are there more
SOULFUL, clean, precise, smooth, (yada yada) players? No.

I REALLY appreciate you sending these in a way that I can get to them
without having to give my e-mail, joining something, &/or having the
hassle of having to come up with a password. I'm saving them. I'm
printing them on photo quality paper AND, here's the deal.

I want you to move next door to me instead of that Bumphus family.
That way, when I'm lying in my bed dying, I can hear you practicing.
That would make it all having been worthwhile. There, I said it.
That's the way I feel.
