RE: [Harp-L] Early Fleetwood Mac

["Bradford Trainham" <bradford.trainham@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

So did Peter's time with the Blues Breakers (harp content=Mayall) come
before that Fleetwood Mac album with Shake Yo' MoneyMaker or after that?
I've heard some cynics (who never played a lick of anything) object that
that stuff waxed "cartoonish", but I don't share that perception of that
music.  I always !!loved!! It!!

Peter Green did the harp playing in the early Fleetwood Mac days. He liked
to do a lot of wah wah type playing. Worked for me. I always loved that 3
guitar players could be in the same band and not step on each other's toes.
