Re: [Harp-L] The Harp can Heal

James: It's amazing how the music we play can take us to a place  
where life is bearable. It's a good thing you have such a good friend  
in Murali Coryell. Keep on playing the blues away and we'll be  
playing the same tunes. Nothing like some Sonny Boy or Big Walter to  
heal the soul.
