[Harp-L] Cotton

["steve@xxxxxxxxxxxx" <swebb@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Got to see Cotton play last Friday night. As most of you know, he plays sitting down now.   He was playing a vocal mic (SM58?) through the PA in a medium sized concert venue. Nice crowd.   He was hampered in the first half of the show when his mic didn't work and he had to play thru a mic one of his band members handed him.  He was better when he got his own mic working, but he's definitely showing his age.  Man, though, what a hot band he's got.  And people loved the show.
First harp show I've been to in quite a while and it was good to watch him.  Seems to me that he plays a lot of things that include more than one note at a time and sometimes I was bothered by those choices.  But who am I to criticize?
