Re: [Harp-L] Re: Danny, G and other frequent contributors

Pat Missin should be on any list of helpful harmonicists.

His encyclopedic website has been a great resource for me.  And he has shared his knowledge more directly too, answering my questions regarding patents, the harmonetta, etc, and giving me feedback and encouragement on my ideas.

  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?
