Re: [Harp-L] Blues mandolin/harp - Gerry Hundt

[michael rubin <michaelrubinharmonica@xxxxxxxxx>]

Gerry is an old friend.  He plays multiple instruments including
mando, harp, guitar and bass.  He is very bluescentric but can play
other styles.  When I lived in Manhattan in 1999 we met at a blues jam
and he became my guitarist for my gigs.  Coincindentally, I also play
blues mandolin.  I do not think he played mando in 1999, but he was a
great guitarist and I'm sure that helped him become pro at mando
quickly,  He is a great harp player as well.

> You familiar with this guy out of Chicago?  Gerry Hundt is his name.  Real good blues mando and a more than capable harp player and singer on top of that.  I'm listening to his CD now, has a great Chicago vibe/tone.  Electric and acoustic numbers, every one of them tasty.  Plenty of Harp, although it's not GH blowing on his record, it's a guy by the name of Bill Lupkin.  Again, very tasty.  The Johnny Young and Johnny Shines (w/ Big Walter) sides jump to mind when I hear it, probably because I just haven't heard that much electrified blues mandolin other than that.  Real nice.  Worth a listen.
