Re: [Harp-L] New Springsteen Recording



Hey Ken,

Excellent points, and the point I was tryin to make a few months ago was related to the
Dylan endorsement Harp from Hohner...my question was...


why hasn't a Guitar Company approached Dylan yet about an endorsement deal???,-))
but let's NOT open up that thread again!!! Pllllease!,-)


a funny Bruce story, back in 1971 I did a show with Bruce here in NJ and he commented how he liked my rack playing as I was playing Guitar and Harp back then......he asked me to show him a few things...but I guess when he went home....he spent more time on his songwriting and not on my tips and LUCKY for him!,-)

thanx for the tip, I'll check out his new CD tho...sounds interesting.....he is one heck of a performer too!!!

best,
Rob P

I'm not a Springsteenista, but I admire the guy's music. Someone played me a couple of cuts from his new recording this morning, and I liked them well, except for one.

Two cuts that I heard had harp on them. One had a wonderful single note harmonica sting in a few places, and it was a really good use of the harp.

The other, however, called Good Eye, had terrible harmonica from beginning to end, the worst sloppy blow and draw I have ever heard on a high profile rock record, like a child who was never going to get any good.

If a guitar player with that level of skill tried to get work on a Bruce Springsteen record, he'd be told to come back in 5 years.

I find this stuff eternally discouraging.
