RE: [Harp-L] About Kim Wilson on Today's Lesson

[Donnie MorTone <harp_boy@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

This doesn't have allot to do with the previous post with
this heading....Except it's about Kim Wilson... & I'm offering
out a YouTube link also.
 
It's Kim, doing "Five Long Years", in 3rd position, 16 hole chromatic, in Dm (of course...)
 
The Lesson is...I think he's one of the most under-rated blues chromatic players (meaning 
stricktly 3rd position style playing)...when really, he has always been one of the very best.
& Maybe even the best I ever heard when it comes to the slow blues grooves. The spirit of
George Smith is alive and well within Kim's chromatic...plus allot of his own special magic.
 
Listen & see for your own pleasure:
