[Harp-L] What other instruments do you play?

[Steve Merola <stevemerola@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Harp-l
I heard a guy named Larry "Big House"
David<http://www.myspace.com/larrybighousedavid>play the same notes on
piano and harp at the same time, ala John Mayall.
He's a terrific performer.

When you say doubles on something I think about actual "double" like
John Mayall does with the one hand on the keys and one holding the
harmonica.
He plays note for note with the keyboard....sans harprack.
 I'm sure Howard levy could do this too.
I've tried playing the foot pedals to my old Hammond (bass) while
playing harp.

Is there anyone who has this true "doubling" mastered?
I Mean without just playing straight harp (no bends)

Someone could do this with the accordion...
I've tried and it works...but I'm just not good enough on the accordion.

John Hammond has a good time with some good harp bends while on
guitar...
who else can do this?

My cousin Ryan is proficient at Harp while playing keys ....no rack.
I think this is a real rare talent...
