[Harp-L] Billy Branch - far from generic

[Harri Haka <harri.haka@xxxxxxxxx>]

I learned my basic harmonica in the 70s by listening to blues harp 
recordings, which were scarce then, and reading the only available 
instruction book by Tony Glover. Years later I noticed a quote from 
Glover describing Billy Branch as a "generic" harp player. I wonder what 
this could mean in the context of blues harmonica. Maybe Glover 
considers himself the opposite, meaning a brand that people are willing 
to pay more for because of added value. Branch is a talented player who 
combines traditional Chicago style with a distinctive add of his own. 
Tony Glover doesn't come close.
