[Harp-L] Danny's Gig list (was Jason Ricci status)

[Tom Ball <havaball@xxxxxxx>]

Please allow me to chime in on this as well:

In addition to playing the meanest bass harp on the planet, our pal 
Danny Wilson has been faithfully updating and churning out the Gig 
List for years and years. I'm sure this takes far more work than we 
realize -- I can only imagine all the formatting and re-formatting, 
back-and-forth Emails, frustration and drudge-time that must be 
involved.  Every so often it becomes time to recognize all that work 
and devotion.

Danny is far-too-humble a soul to ever draw attention to this himself 
(or even mention it,) but we all owe him a tremendous debt of 
gratitude. I would like to point out that although Danny requires no 
donation or compensation for his hard work, and no listing would ever 
be rejected for lack of such, there is indeed a Tip Jar link at the 
Gig List site: http://www.bassharp.com/bh_itin.htm  I only wish that 
I could donate more often, but then... after all... I'm a 
"professional" <cough> harmonica player.  I dare say Danny could have 
come out smelling a bit rosier if he was exclusively gig-listing rock 
stars, but that's another issue altogether.  (Know how to become a 
millionaire playing harmonica? Start with two million.)

Again, many thanks, Danny! Let's all remember him with our words if 
not with our wallets.

cheers,
Tom Ball
