[Harp-L] Charlie Musselwhite at the Greeley Blues Jam

[Rick Davis <bluesharpamps@xxxxxxxxx>]

I headed up North this afternoon to catch Charlie Musselwhite's set at the
Blues Jam, Greeley's summer blues festival. Charlie's tone was superb; huge
and rich.

He was playing through an unmodified Fender Red Knob Twin amp, known as the
Evil Twin. Musselwhite used the same model amp to record his recent album
"Delta Hardware." The amp is a high gain beast; a super loud guitar amp that
just does not seem like a good choice for harp. But Charlie is, well...
Charlie. He gets good tone with anything.

He opened his set with the song River Hip Mama, which happens to be the same
song my band Roadhouse Joe opens every show with. Standing 20 feet in front
of Charlie Musselwhite and listening to him play that song was thrilling and
inspiring. His encore was Christo Redentor. Everything in between was a
clinic in third and fourth position mastery.
