Re: [Harp-L] SPAH - who's going? Say something about yourself!

[Sam Friedman <sammyasher@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'll be at SPAH.
I'm 21, from Peekskill, NY.
Harmonica-wise, I mostly play a diatonic, employing all techniques
(tongueblock, pucker, overblows, etc...) to play comfortably chromatically
in all genres and kinds of music that I can ranging from bebop to blues to
classical Indian music. I'm looking forward to being able to play with
people, and share some harmonica secrets.
I started playing 2 years ago, following a hand injury that temporarily left
me unable to play my other main instruments (piano, banjo, vibraphone). This
will be my first time at SPAH.
