Re: [Harp-L] Sugested player to learn from AND Norton Buffalo´s sources?

Another avenue worth checking out: John Sebastian did play on other people's records a fair bit during the 1960s. He played the harmonica solo on the Doors' Roadhouse Blues, for instance, and also played on at least a dozen tunes among Tim Hardin's early recordings. There may be more that I'm not aware of.

Mike,
 
Do you think of Sebastian in the Spoonful context, or his solo stuff -- or later still? From what i recall he didn´t play a whole lot of harp on the earlier material; his solo stuff I´m more uncertain of.
 
Cheers,
Martin

........
So two questions here:
1) Can you suggest another player who sits somewhere in the rock-country-blues zone and who´s not only using the instrument for soloing,
and
2) Where, if anywhere, did Norton Buffalo find sources to tap for the kind of playing you hear on his two 1970´s LP´s.

I´m down with a bad case of this nefarious swine flu, high fever, and my already turgid brain is really working in slo-mo at the moment so forgive me if I´m not making myself clear. I may even, from a different angle, have asked this question before ... What was the name of that Swiss doctor?

Cheers,
Martin
