[Harp-L] Big Mama Thronton

[Robert Bonfiglio <bon@xxxxxxxxxx>]

In 1971 when I came to New York City to study with Chamber Huang and  
go to Mannes College of Music I returned to my "roots" by going down  
to the Village and jamming and one night at the Village Gaslight I sat  
in with Big Mama Thornton.  She was a decent harp player and by that  
time was dressing like a man, but her singing was incredible that  
night and I remember having a good time playing licks around her voice.

But my boat was already on a different path by that time.

Harmonically yours,

Robert
