[Harp-L] re: Sonny Terry

[jim.alciere@xxxxxxxxx]

Regardless of how Sonny played, (and man, could he play!) it's fun to play
his stuff amped up with a tongue block embouchure.
You can add tongue slaps and octaves to Fox Hunt or Lost John. Add
a Lightning Hopkins type riff on the electric guitar, and you can play it in
a bar and really work up the crowd. Not hard to throw in Jimi's VooDoo Chile
into the mix either.

It's also fun to throw a John Popper riff into a song like Turn On Your Love
Light and put some of Sonny's whoops in it. It's really cool to mix
something like Fox Hunt with Runaround.
