Re: [Harp-L] New Little Walter Video on You Tube

[Ken Deifik <kenneth.d@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm just shivering with the magic of this video.  Though LW's recorded work 
shows constant innovation, hearing a whole new, huge, rich set of LW licks 
gives this day a red letter for me.

As beautifully as the great harp players swing/swung, I feel LW was the 
hardest swinging player.  Any younger player who wishes to understand how 
to swing the harp from phrase to phrase should study this performance in depth.

Interestingly, one hears clear echoes of SBW2 all over the place.

As an acoustic player, I'd also say that this performance is the height of 
acoustic playing.  I keep a very good bullet mic on my desk to remind me of 
how much there is left to learn, but this video does the same.

Thanks to Will Greener for this find!
