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



Rainbow Jimmy writes about Popper:
 
"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."
 
.....and everyone reacts as if he's REALLY saying "somber" and "slow"   
---umm -- does 'tongue in cheek' mean anything?  lol -- Think a  minute:  Little 
Richard.....Jerry Lee Lewis.....The  WHO......It's ok, Jimmy, I got it, <VBG>
