[Harp-L] Thank you Richard Hunter

[David McCurry]

I want to echo that, Buck. I got this book way back in 1983 and was already
interested in venturing into deeper waters. A great selection of songs as
examples. I still use the scales and arpeggios at the back. The interview
with Toots is also inspirational; to learn that such a master was well into
his 50s before he was comfortable taking a solo in the key of A, and his
quote "... hard to get beyond the 'look ma, no hands' stage with the
chromatic". Priceless. Thank you, Richard.
