Re: [Harp-L] Tony Glover:a big thanks

["hazcon" <hazcon@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Yep,bought it in 1970 for about the equivalent of about 3 hours pay.(Now I 
could probably buy Tony Glover for one hours pay..(kidding kidding))
       I still smile when I think about how he said something along the 
lines of......" you know you have been practicing too much when you start to 
sound like snow running of your roof ?..(I'd never seen snow)
      Anyway what'd I like to read is all us old farts favourite quotes 
from Tony's book..(I haven't seen it in years, a dishonest (gosh) harp 
player stole it from me in 1971..fair swop I stole his girlfriend,though in 
the end I think he got the better deal.
        There was something in there about .."Stradivarius(sp)" ;-)
Anyway I reckon it should be a big thanks from all of us to Tony..he's 
probably the reason a lot of us are here.

When I was 16 I was a huge Yardbirds fan I thought Keif Reilf was coolist 
muscian Id ever heard. I grew up just outside Boston, didn't even know what 
blues was. Back in 66 or 67 when I picked up the harmonica it was really the 
only book around that was blues based.the few other books were just first 
position folk tunes or pop tunes. it taught me to do a train shuffle and 
what second position was.
