Re: [Harp-L] Hits with harp from the 80s

["Jim Greenwald" <staggerin@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

Pat McDonald indeed played the harp on the Timbuk 3 recordings. He was a heavy user of effects (and some overdubbing) on his harp when he recorded. In live performance he'd play in a rack without so much processing. Barbara K also played some harp and she was pretty darned good, too.

Cheers,
Staggerin' Jim

  Midnight Oil's Blue Sky Mine
  Timbuk3's The Future's So Bright, I Got To Wear Shades
  But...  Were those real harmonicas?  The Timbuk3 piece sounds like it could
  be a General Midi's pulling of the wool.
