Re: [Harp-L] Stevie Wonder "Spain" on Youtube

[Slim Heilpern <slim@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I second all of that... in addition I would mention that this DVD is  
well worth renting or buying (I own the blu-ray version). There are  
over two hours of music on it. Not a large percentage of harmonica,  
but in addition to "Spain" he also plays "All Blues". The band is  
great, sound is great, and it's a very enjoyable production all around.
