Re: [Harp-L] Innapropriate harmonica

[Jim Rumbaugh <jrumbaug@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I admit the concept of "gussing" is something I have learned here at the 
Harp-L. I admit that I am inclined to pull out a harp and play along, though 
I can't remember when.

"Gussing" is what we do and how we learn at The Harmonica Club of 
Huntington, but then, that's what the club is for. Our sessions are NOT like 
a Joe Filisko circle jam where everyone is quite until their turn.

People sing along with the band, why can't you "play along"??

I do see where even singing along with the band could be wrong.  I do 
believe anything that is distracting from the performance and lessens the 
enjoyment of the audiance is "rude", as another poster said.

Perhaps, what I really think is, "anything in moderation is OK, even playing 
the harp".
