[Harp-L] Annie Raines Workshop NYC 6/7/09



I'm new to Harp L (and not a harp player), but have played with
several musicians who are long time members. I hope you don't mind me
posting these events. I have no monetary interest in this, just a love
of the blues and those who practice it. Please contact me if you are
interested.

work on techniques used by Little Walter, Sonny Terry, Sonny Boy Williamsons
I and II, Dr. Ross and other harmonica greats by getting cleaner bends,
tongue-blocked bends, basslines, crunchy chewy rhythm parts, position
playing, and alternating rhythm and melody. Bring diatonic harmonicas in the
