[Harp-L] harmonica and blues elitism

[Robert Hale]

Harmonica is is such a wonderful and widely accepted instrument!

I have always been annoyed by the in-group elitism expressed by some... a
few...

   - real blues is diatonic (Richter) tuning only, and
   - on a wood-body harp
   - real blues is that one iconic bullet + bassman sound

Thank goodness for Richard Hunter, and others like him, who can lay down an
honorable tribute to tradition AND explore the textures of other tunings,
and processing gear.
