Re: [Harp-L] SPAH and me

[Joseph Leone <3n037@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

You answered your question big Rick. Most harp players don't have a solo repertoire. Also, over my life time I have noticed something.
I play or have played other instruments. Most musicians have total disregard for harmonica players. No respect. Sorry, but that's the
way I see it. I have been shoveling the proverbial sh*t against the proverbial tide for what seems like eons. Sometimes I win. Sometimes
I loose. :)
