[Harp-L] Harmonicaster Demo Video with Carl Caballero

[The Iceman]

wow. Carl is still on the scene, eh? Knew him way way back in Detroit. I used to say about Carl, "Of all the blues harmonica players in Detroit, Carl definitely has the best hair!".
He was a skinny kid with totally long long jet black hair.

I think it would be a good idea to have a few seasoned harp players of
different styles record a 1.0 minute solo for the rest of us to get a sense
of what the instrument can do. In the guitar world, unless you are Stevie
Ray or a Bonamassa, the strats are a very finicky breed of instruments.

I am putting down Richard Hunter's name as I personally like his expertise
and work in electroharmonix.
