Re: [Harp-L] Jason ricci backstage interview for the rock in the Hall of Fame

[<bfrain@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

i watched the show last night just for butterfield, and i didnt know jason was on, and he didnt look like himself from a few yrs back, but he sounded like jason, and i was hoping for a little more in the way of butterfield riffs, and the tone wasnt what i prefer, but i kept thinking this guy is ripping off jason...then i found out it was him...he can play! lol

If you've never heard of Morello, check this out: http://www.hunterharp.com/video-of-the-day-18-december-2014-tom-morello-on-the-ghost-of-tom-joad/.  A compliment from that guy means plenty.

And great to see Jason looking big, bold, and bright-eyed on that podium, too.  That's gonna be one hell of a show.
