Re: [Harp-L] interesting stuff out there (backing a Singer)

 As the singer sings, pretend it is you singing. You can't sing and play harmonica at the same time. Do fills in the spaces between the singing.

Backing up a Singer is an art form in itself and probably one of THE most 
difficult aspects in the big sphere of musical performance. 
 

In NON musical terms the best way I can explain it, is a quote Tommy Morgan 
told me over the phone a few weeks ago. 
 

We were chatting about backing up Singers and Bands etc. Tommy said that 
when he was asked how he lasted SO LONG in this Business, his answer was 
simple......"I never forgot WHO's record it was that I was playing on." To 
me THAT says it all.
