Considering that Charlie McCoy backed up Bob Dylan on a number of 
classic recordings it's perfectly appropriate to mention them in the 
same sentence. If Charlie respects Bob as a musician, who am I to argue? 
More to your supposed point, if you don't think Bob Dylan can play 
harmonica after working with the instrument for sixty years you're 
fooling yourself. I've heard him play perfectly competent 2nd position 
blues harp. He's also a fairly good fingerpicking guitar player, I 
suppose he must have learned a thing or two from Michael Bloomfield, 
David Bromberg, Robbie Robertson, and Mark Knopfler.

It's a little like when people dismiss Robert Plant or Jack Bruce as 
harmonica players. They were good enough to play harmonica in Led 
Zeppelin and Cream.
