[Harp-L] Whammer Jammer -- add 1

[Philharpn@xxxxxxx]

It has been several months since I checked Adam Gussow's web page, (Modern 
Blues Harmonica) so I missed the following:

 "When I interviewed Magic Dick, he was quite open about where he got various 
parts of "Whammer Jammer." I didn't realize, though, that he got the final 
12-bars of the song from the end of James Cotton's original recording of "Rocket 
88." It's on BLUES MASTERS: HARMONICA CLASSICS. Dick literally takes that 
chorus note for note from Cotton. Amazing! I knew the opening was from Sonny 
Boy's "Bye Bye Birdie," and later parts --warbles--are from Little Walter's "Back 
Track," more or less. But "Rocket 88"? Check it out."

when it was new several months ago.
