if he can really play, this could be a very good thing for harp.  as is 
often discussed
here, many of the best known musicians are not such great harp players.  
having
a very well known figure, one with serious rock/blues cred, play a harp 
like it's
supposed to be played would be a fine thing indeed.

i'm actually kind of impressed that mick would step outside what he's 
famous for
to do this.  i hope he makes a go of it.  that'd be good for all of us.
