Re: [Harp-L] Too many excuses

[Richard Hammersley <rhhammersley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

These excuses are life.

I will never reach the stage in my musical journey when I abandon life  
for the harmonica. Besides then I would be bereft of any blues spirit  
to infuse my playing.

I hope I never reach the stage when I abandon MUSIC for the harmonica  
either. I fear that should I worry too much about which harp, which  
customiser, what key, which effects, what amp, which tubes should  
replace the standard tubes in the amp, whether to purse or tongue,  
what bag to carry my harps in, how to comport myself as a harp player,  
etc. etc., there will be no time for playing it all all.

The house is quiet. The weans are abed. I am off to make a recording...
