Re: [Harp-L] Re: Who are the top Blues Harp Pros? I got their autographs

[Pic2318834@xxxxxxx]

I have been getting autographs of local and national talents as they come  
to Boston area and I have been having them sign my harp cases. I also make  
sure to buy their Cd's they are selling to help em out.

Now  that amp definitely has MOJO! Very cool. Bet it sounds great, too,  
Dave.

As it happens I am working on what I am convinced is the coolest  harp 
pouch ever. It's brown leather foldover pouch with 7 slots that I  made 
myself. I made it bown instead of black so I could have famous  harpers 
autograph it (and still be able to see the autographs...   ;o). The first 
signature was Jason Ricci's back in 2003 - 2004 from a gig  at some honky 
tonk in podunk Western Colorado. As it happens the last  signature was 
Howard Levy's, obtained at SPAH. Pretty good bookends. In  between it has 
about 30-40 signatures of my favorite harpers on it. My  problem is that 
there's very little room left on it and I've not met  nearly enough 
killer harpers so far. I'll work on posting a picture of  it.

Someone asked a while back if gear can have Mojo. I think  so!

BTW, Dave, I'm pleased to have had to carry only my harp pouch for  my 
signatures. My back would ever permit carrying an entire amp to all  
those gigs.  :-)
