Re: [Harp-L] real deal harp

Whilst I agree with the sentiment, Cotton is using the latest gear, within 
reason, in the videos...new Fender amp that cost more (when considering 
inflation & cost of living) than most "custom amps" cost today (many of which 
have their roots in classic Fenders), classic shure mic with a volume control 
(which if you want to buy "new in box" today will cost as much as a "custom mic
". Since the Harpkings stopped production there is no amp made at the current 
time that has a specific "feedback control"...although there are obviously 
in-line devices that can hep in that respect.

Subject: [Harp-L] real deal harp

Hey, check out this video: 
http://www.wolfgangsvault.com/james-cotton-blues-band/video . No overblows, no 
overdraws,  no fancy technical licks, no crazy position changes, plain and 
simple simple 2nd position, no custom harmonicas, no custom amps, no custom 
mics, no effects processors, obviously no feedback control. Just great music 
played by a real-deal harp player, musician and entetainer.  This is the best a 
harp player can strive to get, in an attempt to touch an audience. Blues or 
otherwise.
