Re: [Harp-L] Toots called Howard a name

I agree 100% with the Iceman on this one. No way Toots is jealous of Howard...and I think Larry is also correct about Toot's opinion of Howard's approach. Someone else who was at that performance, a great and famous player himself, and a friend of Toot's, told me the same thing.
