Re: [Harp-L] WHO IS THIS HARP PLAYER?---Hall & Oates: August Day 1978 Part 2 - YouTube

[Slim Heilpern <slim@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Sounds like Les Thompson to me (just compare to his solo on Al Jarreau's "This Time").

Further evidence: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Along_the_Red_Ledge

Les is listed as a bass player under Personnel, but seems more likely he was actually the harmonica player ;-).

- Slim.
