Re: [Harp-L] future in country for harmonica?

we have a lot of contemporary country stations on our Pandora, so get a wide exposure.


When Vicki hears harmonica (on any music), she always asks me "Who's that on the harmonica?"


She doesn't ask me that question very often when listening to these Pandora stations, so our experience is that there is some smattering of harmonica on contemporary country, but not really a lot nor is it on the upswing.

 SoundScan says country music has been the most popular genre of music in US and 
Canada for many years now. 


Sirius channel guide lists 7 country stations. There is one blues station: BB 
Kings.


Since, I don't follow contemporary country, does anybody know how much harmonica 
there is in today's country music scene. I know there used to be lots of Charlie 
McCoy on all kinds of rock and country records. 


If country music is still growing, is there room for more harmonica? Or is it 
the same 6 guys getting all the work?
