Re: [Harp-L] re: me and mr. Hohner

This is from one of at least 2 albums that Bobby Darin put out in the late 
sixties that were a complete departure from his pop and Las Vegas slick 
stuff from before. I had 2 of them at one time. They were this sort of folk, 
country rock, protest music. He said something about no longer believing in 
the music his was doing strictly for profit.

All true Rick, Bobby Darin was a very talented guy ...gone all to soon.
I wasn't sure that was him actually playing the harmonica but there can be 
no argument
It was really bad.
Having said all this again, that could be a great cover for someone with 
wonderful harp solo
options.
