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

Charlie Musselwhite  is a fantastic entertainer, voice and harp
is spectacular, he has a smooth mellow voice and singing harp
that I would pay to see any time, he make great music not noise
with nervous disorders like some players.
The guy is a classic! Borders restocked his CD the Well, I just  proudly
purchased a copy!

Who is  responsible for cluing Leno in on who is the HARP LEGEND on the 
stage and who  are the blues frauds ? Other than that, I'm glad Charlie is 
getting some  exposure and is still insp iring young harp players like he did to 
me 38 yrs.  ago.

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.
