RE: [Harp-L] Jason Ricci Revue from Orlando Blues Society - OBBS

[Gary Warren <gdubya@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Have a search on archive.org for his show in Jacksonville on 
Halloween eve 2008.  I recorded it.
He can get in that Derek Trucks, Dead vein easily and did that 
night.  Slow night, few in audience.
Soft music and nice dynamics with the drummer.   This guy is NOT a 
one trick pony.  He'd cut your head or anyone else's wide open, if 
and I stress IF he were that kind of guy.
He's not.  I've found him humble, helpful, respectful and sharing - 
an amazing thing for a guy with such an immense talent, and for 
someone cutting new ground.  These boundary stretchers are usually 
raucous and self centered, like some of our musical heros have likely 
been.  He takes time to give back, to me like few others, other than 
maybe Adam Gussow.
