[Harp-L] Little Walter
E harp, key of B... Take notice, Little Walter we know does his warble with
is hands and not his head, said he got dizzy.. He Also plays and moves the
harp to his mouth, or 50/50, I did not see him with stagnant hands and his
mouth all over the harp. Something I just learned and it feels right when
playing along with the song. You take it in small pieces. The old fashioned
way will take quite a long while, however with a slow down machine it
would cut down the time 10 fold. Thanks HB for that... Another important key to
playing this stuff authentically is wearing out the 3 blow as either your
start note, end note, wherever. It just allows you to play with that
phrasing LW could pull off at any time. Not the same 8 bars of playing throughout
the entire 3 - 4 minutes. I had heard there was a man in Europe who has
tons of Little Walter live but will not release it for whatever reason. Maybe
he passed away. Does anyone know who he is, was and the story behind that.
