RE: [Harp-L] Non-blues diatonic players



Hi,

Although he's to much of a good guy to list himself
on his own list, I submit that Chris Michaleck is
one non-blues diatonic-playing overbending
position-MONSTER.

He expertly plays jazz and explores World Music on
diatonic harp that no one else I know of has even
attempted. His work with Middle Eastern style music
is amazing.
