[Harp-L] re: what Popper means to me



The problem with John Popper is that he plays too fast and too wild, way too
exuberant. To learn harmonica properly you need to listen to Sonny Terry who
always played quietly, slowly, and somberly (can somber become an adverb?).

You will find that real musicians from Little Richard, to Jerry Lee Lewis to the
Who always are quiet, somber, and play slowly. Enthusiasm is not an asset.
