When I saw Charlie Musselwhite at Greeley Blues Jam he was using an el cheapo wooden bar stool as a harp stand. I thought that was exremely cool because I use an identical bar stool. I wrote about it the same day on my blog:

>From the website: "Charlie Musselwhite uses the exact same harp stand I do! Check the harp case resting on the cheap K-Mart bar stool to his left. My stage setup is identical. Check the far right on the pic below; Roadhouse Joe playing Little Bear Saloon in Evergreen, Colorado." I searched around on YouTube for vids of Charlie's current tour and saw that he used the barstool in multiple venues. I don't have much in common talent-wise with Charlie but at least we use the same harp stand!. ;-) As Charlie said when he wrote me about it, the bar stool is the perfect height. He and I both use briefcase-type harp cases which sit perfectly on top of the flat wooden seat of the stool. Plus, if I get tired during a long gig I can move the harps and have a seat. The downside is the wooden stool is not collapsable and is quite bulky. But it has the right vibe for a blues statge; a low-tech throw-back juke joint kind of thing. I like it. _______________________________________________ Harp-L is sponsored by SPAH, http://www.spah.org Harp-L@xxxxxxxxxx http://harp-l.org/mailman/listinfo/harp-l
