Subject: [Harp-L] has anyone heard this done before?


I started playing lead guitar notes and single harp notes together back in 
the late 70's. I had heard george benson do it with his guitar and voice in 
a concert and later albert collins do it with his guitar and voice. I said - 
heck I have been doing that for years with the harp and guitar and never 
have heard anyone else do that. Playing both the guitar and harp at the same 
time lets some stuff spew out that could never happen with one guy on the 
harp and another on the guitar. There are tons of simple things out there 
like this to still be discovered. Most people write off the simple stuff as 
already done.

I have done this thousands of times at gigs an often have wondered why no 
one has picked up on it or asked me about it. People on the dance floor have 
boogied crazy to it and people in their seats has screamed to it, but not a 
soul has yet to ask me about it. That makes me think it is all mine. I did 
it at the harmonicollege get together when I was playing my guitar with the 
harp on the rack and no one said anything about it. I think like the 
spontobeat concept, it goes right by most people? I would love to hear of 
someone doing it before me and better yet, hear it on a recording. Most rack 
players strum or finger pick rhytms and don't do the dual lead thing. I was 
a big fan of rock music as a kid. Bands often did the dualing guitars and 
every now and then onstage the 2 guitarists would hit some cool stuff that I 
bet triggered my heart to do this with the harp/guitar. ther outlaws did it 
alot and I remember it staying with me after their gigs. Being the
one doing both at once makes for such a connection I doubt it could never 
be duplicated by 2 people.

I actually feel like the guitar, harp, keys, and drums, are all different 
people but all of them are me. I guess that doesn't make sense but it feels 
like that and that makes doing it all at once actually very easy because 
every one of me knows where the other of me's are going. the feet are one 
me, the hands another, the harp another, the keys another, and the voice 
another. If I start to think about things as I am playing it usually looses 
its magic and falls apart. I have been doing it long enough to fake through 
a performance but I don't have to do that anymore because I don't depend on 
music $ to support me. If it doesn't feel right nowadays I just stop playing 
say goodnight and go home. Here is a song I recorded today and a video from 
a ways back with what I am talking about.Walter
