[Harp-L] Buildin' yourself up by tearin' others down



Ev's right, it is a petty war. But it also shows a poor grasp of blues history. The first known blues overblow was recorded about a year before Little Water was even BORN (Mean Low Blues, Blues Birdhead, 1929). And perhaps the second one (Paul Oscher, 1968) was recorded on a Muddy Water record the year Little Walter died.

People who value overblows may be part of your potential audience, Nick. Why alienate them? Beside, it doesn't really show much class to build yourself up by tearing others down.
