[Harp-L] Re: video review requested--randy singer and grammy winner MICKI FREE perform...

[EGS1217@xxxxxxx]

My personal take, Randy - as someone whose very first  purchased harmonica 
CD was your 'Harmonica Dreams', is that you absolutely  nailed the spirit 
and feeling of the song despite not having heard it before. It  took guts to 
go way up into the ether ....but it fit and worked perfectly. To my  ears you 
were channeling the idea of your Harmonica Dreams' songs of  long ago with 
a wee bit of Will Galison's 'Calling You' from Bagdad Cafe (listen  to him 
playing behind Streisand's vocals on her Movie album) - haunting. And you  
gave me the same over-all feeling here. That kind of playing gets me every  
time.
 
I thought it was just beautiful. Don't know that much about Micki and  not 
having heard the original song, maybe a new version could be  issued with 
the addition of your harmonica? That's how much I liked  this.:)
 
My .02 cents

At  my club, I featured the grammy winner MICKI FREE ( he also performed 
with  shalamar for years) and is currently working with santana and bill wyman 
of  the stones as well as clapton)


When  he performed at the THE VAN DYKE CAFE here in miami, he asked me to 
play a few  songs with him.


I  must qualify your viewing with this statement. 


THIS  WAS THE VERY FIRST TIME I HEARD THIS SONG!!!!! This was total improv 
as I  was hearing the song for the FIRST time. 


Not  looking for handicap points, but we harmonica players have to 
sometimes sit in  and never know the key or vibe of the song before we play. 


This  is a real art, the art of sitting in.


How  did I do? 


thanks!
