Yes quirky, but I must say it's a nice change of pace from "I woke up this
morning" etc.  I like the guitar work as well.
He's got a Hohner HardBopper with an acrylic comb. Also a black 16 hole
which I assume is a Super64X.

Steve;
          Pretty quirky songwriter...I like his chrom. playing though. He
seems to be getting some big vibrato. Know what sort of harp he's using? I
can't see any of my chromatics allowing that kind of vibrato. Is it
something I haven't tried, like a 'Slideharp', or some such?
Thanks for this.
RD

Hello Harp-l

There's some very original, bluesy chromatic stuff at this link. The artist
is Billy Lightcap <http://www.myspace.com/billylightcap>
Not traditional, but bluesy nonetheless. Especially "Drunk & Brokenhearted".
