[Harp-L] Re: Buildin' yourself up by tearin' who down?/Note on Overblows
Nick, some good points, but then again a lot of the comments you drew had
merit. For instance, you also just wrote: "and seeing as I'm the last
young guy playing this stuff".
Well, that isn't even close to being true, there's still a lot more
people, including young people, playing traditional blues minus the overblows
than those who use that particular technique. Here on harp-l there are indeed
many good overblowers, but the list is populated by a lot hard core
harmonica fanatics, who in this instance are not a representative sample of the
majority. In any case, don't let it get you down, and don't take it too
personally, you aren't the first to get skewered here for making a comment
before thinking it through all the way. Keep playing, keep posting... just
remember that harp-l can be a tough room, the culture seems to be that if you
boast about yourself you open the door to critique. Some of it won't be
well reasoned, or even well intended, but the majority is usually worth
reading.
