[Harp-L] Rick Estrin show

[moandabluz@xxxxxxx]

Saw Little Charlie and the Nightcats last night in an outdoor blues 
festival. As always, Estrin is great. His Harp King sounds great. He 
was playing through a bullet, JT-30 type mic into either a preamp or 
delay or something. Whatever it was, it was really good.
Talked with him for a bit afterward, just general conversation. He's 
very approachable, at least for harp players.
Charlie Baty was great, too, of course. And since I just ordered myself 
a new upright bass (which I won't get until September), I was 
interested in the bass playing too.
It's good to see and hear someone again in person who can play like 
Estrin. More motiviation for me.
And, in keeping with all the recent posts about plagiarism, i must 
mention that I have never been able to copy anything note-for-note. I 
just have to play what comes out, which might sometimes be a rough 
approximation of real music.
