[Harp-L] old crow medicine show

[john kuzloski <jkuzloski@xxxxxxxxx>]

I looks to me that the band, Old Crow Medicine Show
(with Ketch Secor on harmonica) is opening up the
young masses (a bit) to harmonica.  They play a
combination of old string band music, early blues, and
jug band songs -- kinda raw and sometimes octaned up. 
Whenever my band plays "Wagon Wheel," the dance floor
fills up with 20 somethings!  (That just happened
again tonight which is why I thought to post this.) 
So I guess OCMS is getting pretty darn popular among
that age group, and the harmonica is featured pretty
heavily in that band.  So, young ears are getting a
feel for the sound.  Harp is featured pretty well in
our band, and the kids seem to dig it -- maybe it's a
bit familiar. 
Any fans of OCMS and Secor on the list?  (They have
been on Prairie Home Companion a few times.)
