[Harp-L] CURE for Robert Bonfiglio's "bloody safe" lament

[icemanle@xxxxxxx]

Harmonica - hear the same things over and over?

Here is the cure:

Order this new release - "The Last of the Best - The Paul DeLay Band Live"

It's a culmination of two live shows in 2004 and 2006. In this particular line up of musiians, Luis Pain (Hammond Organ) and Dan Fincher (saxophone) are missing, so most of the material is more solid blues and basic blues grooves rather than the original compositions that transcended this genre.

Too true that we've heard basic blues over and over - nothing new here. What is new is listening to Paul solo on diatonic and chromatic - amazingly original in concept and delivery - over these old forms.

Having been a total fan of Paul since 1995, his playing here is a culmination of all that he has developed over the years harmonically.

Amazing.

It's time for music to go somewhere else. It's not that the players aren't good at what they do; it's that we've heard it all before. We know where they are going before they get there. Everything is so bloody safe!?

?I am not saying I'm any different; classical music is in it's own rut. But with harmonica, I hear the same things over and over, played very well, but is that enough??
