[Harp-L] Famous "Harmonica players"

[Mike Wilbur]

Sebastian please include Mikel Herblin , JJ Milteau ....others
For Jazz and Phil Wiggins for Swing and BBand ( although Phil is
the master of Piedmont Blues ! )
 These guys and others you mentioned keep me interested in expanding
my recreational playing.
Blues and Rock are meat on the bone, Jazz ....my gravy !
