[Harp-L] RON - MySpace harp video

[Captron100@xxxxxxx]

Mark, being a harp player as well as a one man band, u might appreciate  
this.  The guy who posted this is one of the Harp-L players i most  respect.  When 
he speaks, i listen.  But i can't DL this because  I'm on dial-up and I can't 
save MySpace videos like i do U Tube.
  If u open this, lemme know what u think and if there is a way i can  view 
it.   _http://www.myspace.com/andredaneau_ (http://www.myspace.com/andredaneau)

Thanks for sharing the link to your myspace page ( http://  
www.myspace.com/andredaneau ).  I particularly like the video and  the  
more traditional pieces--the mixture of foot drumming and  harmonica  
here really works wonderfully for a sort of old-time feel to  the  
music--a sense of immediacy and intimacy often found on older  folk  
recordings.  This is especially true for "Gazelle Bleue"--my  favorite  
piece on the site, the simplicity is just so compelling and  your  
playing (and footwork) is fantastic.  You're harmonica  playing has a  
sort of understated elegance in general (even when doing  fairly fast  
runs and difficult technical stuff), and on that   piece it merges  
particularly well with the frenetic footwork, creating  a bit of  
tension which really drives the music forward.

I know  there is a harmonica tradition in Quebecois music, and it's  
good to  see that being carried on.  But is foot-drumming also   
traditional?  Whether it is or not, you do it amazingly well.  Now  if  
you only added a guitar you'd have a one-man band:).
 
Great stuff, and thanks again for sharing this.
