[Harp-L] RE: Fresh new harmonicist, just saying hi and looking for advice

[martin oldsberg <martinoldsberg@xxxxxxxxx>]

Davis,
 
Why in the world you should be "too young for this type of thing", if that means taking up the harp or posting to a mailing-list, beats me. (If anything, 21 may be a tad too old for mastering am musical instrument so don´t sit on your hands.)
  Best of luck to you with the harmonica. My only advice is this: don´t get bogged down in the amplification issues, if/when you come that way (probably gonna happen sooner or later). Don´t fall for the notion that THIS amp or THAT microphone is a sine qua non for good sound.
  And practice every day. Every day.
 
cheers,
Martin
