[Harp-L] Delbert McClinton and Bruce Channel and John Lennon

[Hellerman, Steven L.]

Yes, that is Delbert McClinton on Hey Baby.

Story is that it was Delbert while on tour in England w/ Bruce Channel who turned John Lennon on to cross harp.

Interesting overlap this issue w/ Beatles and harmonica.
