Re: [Harp-L] Jazz award for Toots



Toots is where he deserves to be; among the giants of the genre.  Congrats to Maestro 
Toots!!  No harmonica player has done what Toots has done for Jazz and for the harmonica.  
To have worked with the dieties that he has worked with throughout his career speaks for 
itself.  

regards,
Roger Gonzales, Fresno, CA.
