I am nothing compared to some of the players on this list but...

1) It sounds to me like Mick has woodshedded for about 90 minutes per 
year since he took harp duties over from Brian, how many decades ago? He 
actually sounded better than I imagined, which would have placed him 
about 10 minutes of practice per decade.

2) When the local blues radio show DJ (who is quite hip) was gleefully 
celebrating the new Stones album by playing, "Just Your Fool." I called 
in and asked him to play Little Walter's version to put it in all 
perspective. He refused.

3) If it turns more than 2-3 people on to blues music or blues harp then 
it is a good thing.
