Re: [Harp-L] Inapproriate playing

[THOMAS FIACCO <mx714@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

 I have had my run ins with Gus- but this one took the cake. I was at Hummels Blowout in Troy,N,Y,- Glenn Weiser may chime in on  this one. On stage were Hummel,James Harman, and Magic Dick. Some guy with a red doo rag sitting in the back had been playing along for a while-I mean A WHILE- when Mark had finally had enough. I think a girl came from the back and approached the stage to inquire if her Gus friend could come up on stage and play!The guy had one harp-I think an A harp-and was out of key for most of the songs that night. Mark steps to the mic and says "you in the back -put that harp away. People paid money to hear us play tonight,not you. I wish Charlie Musslewhite was here-he would shove that thing down your throat"-the guy continued to playfor a few more songs,then passed out drunk.
