Hi All,
Ok, I ad mit that I said:
>" ... On the other hand, you might be surprised to know who of the true >greats is 'listening in' on our conversations all the time ;-)."
to which several have replied:
>Okay, I'll bite ... who?
Well, since many of these folks wish to remain anonymous, I am not going to tell exactly who. However, we do get posts from them on rare occasion - quite often via a representative who is a regular list contributor ;-). Occasionally I have seen one or two of these folks post to the list directly as well! Anyway, MOST of the harmonica community is involved with one or another of the groups that support us or help fill our ranks with their members. A very few performers who have enjoyed unprecedented commercial success are not as easy to get a hold of. Probably because their "community" is more with other performers who also enjoy that success and they simply haven't had the opportunity to "get hooked" on our crowd yet ;-).
Anyway, pardon my baiting you guys, bt I shouldn't be giving out any more hints. just remember, if you have something to ask about one of your favorite players, SOMEONE on list is likely to know them and be able to forward the question and get a response. That is the real beauty of the harmonica community and one of the traits that sets it aside from sax, guitar, keyboard, etc. Have fun all,
