Re: [Harp-L] chrome in dixieland front line

Some years ago I played quite a few gigs in London with Brian  Greene's New 
Orleans Stompers, including at "Pizza in the Park" and "Pizza  Express Jazz 
Club" in London's West End...
My harmonica fitted in just fine! There were the usual comments  "That 
isn't how it was on the original record" of course! Provided it is played  well 
and sensitively, harmonica can sound great in ALL styles of  music.

most of the guys in the band and the audience really dug it.  There will 
always be a few Nazis in the room, on or off the bandstand, who will  look at 
such efforts a sacrilege, but the band leader always gave me space to  take a 
solo, and it worked out fine. The fact that I also had competent rhythm  
chops helped a lot.
