Doing the Impossible - was [Harp-L] RE: New Sebastien Charlier Album, WONDERFUL !!!

[icemanle@xxxxxxx]

 Interesting story I heard on NPR about an amazing acoustic guitarist - unfortunately, I can't remember his name. The story goes that as a youngster, he was taken by a guitar recording (maybe on a 45 record) and it inspired him to learn it off the record, even though it sounded very complicated. Well, he eventually worked it out and it was a basis for his techniques. It was later that he learned that, on the original record, it was actually TWO guitar players playing. Since he didn't know this at first, he didn't realize that it was impossible to play what two guitar players played on one guitar, therefore, he figured out a way to do it - in essence, doing the impossible, because no one told him it was....


he does confirm how far it is possible to play 
with a simple diatonic, and also not only blues (I like blues a lot) but also 
any kind of music ... No limits !

You are right JerÃme,

I fact I don't know if the interview I made of SÃbastien was one of those you 
speak about ;)...but I am ready to translate it into english for our brothers 
and sisters in harmonica :) ... Even if my english is not too good but sharing 
like that is really a pleasure...

I could not tell more than all what you said JÃrÃme, but really this album is 
amazing also in the means that (I am also a Fan of Howard Levy with its technics 
and when he is playing melodies) he does confirm how far it is possible to play 
with a simple diatonic, and also not only blues (I like blues a lot) but also 
any kind of music ... No limits ! And always keeping to play music ...

Lets see what Curt Bisquera told about SÃbastien Charlier way to play (vidÃo 
with english) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6qYT04sEA0

I am always open for new discoveries especialy on artists which are not from my 
country or my culture... Thanks also to HARP-L ! Anyway if Harmonica is a part 
not negigeable in my culture I think we all have a lot in common here... :)

(for french speakers my loooong article: http://0z.fr/zxxdG that I can try to 
translate for the other harmonica friends)
