Re: Subject: [Harp-L] Sorry /Sam Hinton

[fjm <mktspot@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The old times lament the passing of the "golden" era of harp-l.  For 
some it was garply for others wku.  I dare you to search the archives 
for apology as your term, it gets worse if you just use sorry.  I was 
pretty much reading through thousands of posts trying to locate a 
particular post from that era and I was astounded by how often people 
were apologising.  For every apology there had to be at least one gruff 
response or a misread of another post.  The only that has changed since 
then is the total number of people you can ultimately misunderstand and 
react to.

On a harmonica note, if you read the post telling you to run out and buy 
the Sam Hinton CD which is all harmonica believe it.  I just got this 
recording and it's fascinating. A style of playing that is very 
underepresented in the diatonic world.  Largely 1st position, not much 
bending and all from a lost era.  Lots of childrens songs many of them 
played with simultaneous lines played in different ranges. Lots of folk 
 music in the older sense of the world.  Besides the diatonic Mr. 
Hinton  plays a chord harmonica of some sort.   www.samhinton.org for 
ordering info, it's $25 including S&H.  You have to send the money to an 
actual  person, cheques accepted no credit cards or paypal.  fjm
