Re: [Harp-L] seamless overblow guest

[The Iceman <icemanle@xxxxxxx>]

aw, garsh. thanx


My problem was no interest in promoting what I do the way most 21st century schizoid men do - with internet videos, youtubes, facebooking, myspacing, tweeting, having myself videotaped or even learning to use a computer with a video camera attached. I also have a big void in my ego where the "having to prove yourself to others gremlin" exists in most humans.



Posting a video on youtube was my first foray into this arena. And you know what - it wasn't that difficult....




I've got a lot to offer and will spend a bit of time learning tech stuff and being more 21st century public about meself....

Sometimes I wonder why I tune into Harp-L as much as I do...

While this Iceman has humbly commented about many things here,
I have never met him or heard him play....
After watching this video...I am going to start paying more attention to his 
comments.
You sir...are one bad ass player....Truly the Iceman...
Thanks so much for posting this....
I was just starting to wonder whether the overblow thing is overblown....
No, this is  and example of expanding your "bag of tricks" as Norton once 
said...
I would have just played in 3rd position, missing some notes, and called it 
jazz...

Your playing is very emotive and expressive and not at all contrived....
Very captivating....

Carry on...
