Thanks for sharing that version of "Californina Dreaming" I wasn't complaining about the lack of attention, rather expressing gratitude it. Like I said, there are many others whom we could tap as noteworthy innovators. Yuri's hook for Steve Harvey's audience is combining beatboxing and harmonica. 

To me harpboxing is essentially a variation on "Whooping and Holerin'" a la Sonny Terry. IMO, Brendan Powers and Brandon Bailey come to mind as players who've done some innovative technically exciting harpboxing.
