[Harp-L] Re: Chris Michalek R.I.P.

[<fssharp@xxxxxxxxx>]

I first met Chris at SPAH in 99(?), although I knew of him from previous
years on harp-L.  It was always educational and entertaining to see Chris at
SPAH, watch a video of his, or read his posts on harp-L.  He was one unique,
cool cat.  He was, as others have said, generous, kind, provocative,
abrasive, and original.  Not a bad combination IMO.

Harp-L and SPAH won't be the same without him.  He was a true champion and
giant of the instrument, even if he did think that "99% of all harmonica
players are crap".  Miss ya Chris, and see you down the road.
