[Harp-L] Re: Best thing ever said



In my introductory message I mentioned the biker who told me, "It's good to hear a *real* harmonica player!" which is the best compliment I've ever gotten, whatever he meant; but I'll add this one, which may have referred to my singing or my harp playing or both: a few months ago I went to the jazz singers' open mike at Cleopatra's Needle in Manhattan, and one of my allotted two songs was Big Joe Turner's "Roll 'Em Pete", on which I played a harmonica break. Afterwards, a nice black lady in the audience (the friend of another singer) told me, "You were good. I was surprised." That /was/ a compliment, right?
