[Harp-L] Harmonica Player vs Harp Player

["Bobby BlackHat" <Bobby@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

While listening to Bluesville on XM Radio, they had an interview with
Watermelon Slim.  Slim stated that he thinks Jason Ricci is about the best
harp player around these days and made a comparison between Jason and
Popper.  He stated that while John Popper plays a lot of notes in his music
he is a harmonica player NOT a harp player.  He said it's the distinction
between being a violin player and a fiddle player.  It may be the same
instrument but there is a totally different style and feel of playing.  It
made sense to me.
