Yes , I know.
I have his early , Brother Weasel stuff.

I have checked him out , in fact I did as soon as
it was mentioned over here.

>From the "Backbone" samples , I like Where Green Is Blue.
A Wishlist grow by leaps and bounds let me tell you.
Peter Pedersen's cds are in it too. In time...

Since the last five years or so
that I've been a fortunate reader of this
wonderful harp list (other than a few shortcomings , it's the one)
I have fixed my neck to a permanent "head-up" pos.

you have I just don't see how you could dig the guys you listed and not dig
what Bill is doing. I love all that stuff you listed and Bill is playing in
the same spirit. His lines are so rich and original. As far as I'm
concerned there is nobody playing jazz on the harmonica that sounds remotely
like Bill. When I listen to his CD's I forget I'm listening to a harp
player - I'm just listening to jazz period, especially his CD's "Backbone"
and "Peepin." I believe he has some samples on his website billbarrett.com
