RE: [Harp-L] Media Editorial - Denver news and video coverage



Iceman,
I agree with you as well that this while raising awarness of the event the video did nothing to alter the image of the harmonica. BUT... I do believe (forgive me if I'm wrong) the "long hair dude chugging away" was indeed Robert Bonfiglio himself.

While I'm of the philosophy that "any exposure is good exposure", it is disappointing to once again >see the media focusing on old men wearing silly hats, novelty tunes, a quick shot of long hair dude >chugging away, and kids playing harmonicas that sounds like noise.

This is exactly what we should be steering the media away from and towards Robert B. doing >beautiful classical work and some of the more melodic and sophisticated harmonica approaches to try >and change the public's awareness and perception of the harmonica.
