Re: [Harp-L] Update...Lone Wolf Harp Attack at IBC

[Denny Noreikas <harpmessin@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I agree that Bobby sounded terrific. He was one of my harp favorites  
at the IBC.
It is very difficult to record let along take pictures because of the  
crowds. If you
have never experienced an IBC - it is a must-do even as a spectator.

You will run into a lot of friendly people and great harp players. I  
was able to
talk at length with Adam Gussow and may others. There is harp playing  
all over
Beale St. and a true Mecca for the Blues.

Congrats again Bobby.
