RE: [Harp-L] Charlie Musselwhite on the Jay Leno show

["H.T." <imanonimous@xxxxxxx>]

I thought Charlie played fine, but he wasn't featured at all; they  
gave the whole performance to Johnny Lang. Charlie had no opportunity  
to be out front and I thought the harp was too low in the mix to make  
judgements about tone, but it could be heard at least. The performance  
wasn't about harmonica, which is fine, but also wasn't about Jay Leno  
having any clue that he had a genuine icon of blues history on his  
stage. He fawned over Lauper, treated Lang like the star, and ignored  
Charlie completely.

I don't watch late night talk shows, but this did confirm two things  
I've believed for some time: Jay Leno isn't funny anymore, and music  
on talk shows sucks.
