[Harp-L] Little Walter
Hi Michelle, it sure does look like he could be not TB on the lower holes,
however he was so precise with his tongue blocking I think he did both down
there, and mostly TB... He played for 10 - 16 hours a day according to the
Little Walter book by Scott Dirks, riding the trains, that is how he was
able to master that super fast vibrato/waver and be so dead on with the
bends and notes he wanted to play. Yes, Bharath is a wonderful player of
Walter's material, but due to it being Walter's mouth, tongue, lungs, and soul,
there will and always will be just one Little Walter....
