[Harp-L] Charlie McCoy's first recording session as a harmonica player

[Rick Dempster]

I recall a story (true or not, I have no idea) of a session with Bob Dylan
where they wanted a trumpet player in the wee small hours,
and none were available. On the next take, McCoy played bass, one handed,
and trumpet with the other.
Good story anyhow!
