Great to hear from you, G! I hope things are going well for you.

In addition to Danny, G is another harper who has given to the community 
greatly without seeking compensation. You'd have to add Mike Will and 
our intrepid list owner, fjm to that list, too.  I know I've drawn 
freely and regularly from the resources these gents have provided. I'm a 
better and far more knowledgeable harper and a better musician for G's 
and Will's efforts as well as a happier and far better informed consumer 
of the great acts Danny lists. I'm not sure where I'd be in my musical 
"arc" without Harp-L and fjm's omnipresent watchful eye. I extend my 
personal debt of gratitude to all of these fine gentlemen.

There are many other generous harmonica players who've given incredibly 
freely of themselves both on Harp-L and elsewhere. Winslow Yerxa, Rob 
Paparozzi, Jason Ricci, Joe Filisko (and all his "Teach-In" cohorts), 
Keith Graham (JT-30 and sister web sites), Paul Davies, Roger Bale, Bob 
Cohen (and the many other behind-the-scenes SPAH workers) -- the list 
goes on.

I've deliberately left out many other selfless contributors to the 
harmonica community. I'm purposely leaving the list to be filled in by 
other frequent consumers of generous harmonicists.

So, Harp-L'ers, who else is on ~your~ list of harpers who have given so 
freely of themselves?
