Hey, I am certain I would learn lots from the movie, if it ever surfaces. I am not much of a blues man, my blues influences were second hand. I am glad Walter made an impression on all y'all, I just wish he hadn't demonstrated his might on the 5 draw so front and center on Juke, his actions led to the death of many a reed. I don't really have a harp hero! The closest I come is John Sebastian (and I told him so)--I knew the Lovin' Spoonful's music pretty well, so when I started playing seriously, that sound was in my head. Hey, how about a John Sebastian movie? Surely that one would not be so difficult to bring to market!
Harmonica is just an instrument--I don't really play like most harmonica players. No big deal, I don't have a gig playing harp-- It's possible that Bill Barrett is my harmonica hero, since he is so good--but I came upon him late in the game, when I play, I am just trying to make music, not copy anyone (AFAIK).
Nice Lovin' Spoonful cut, Brick. I knew Sebastian was on harp for The Doors' Roadhouse Blues, but I had never heard that Night Owl Blues track before just now. Makes me appreciate Sebastian all the more. Sometimes I just love this forum.
Wow! Very cool Gnarly. So i started doing a little googling and apparently our own member Diggs posted about this track on the MBH forum a long time ago. Don't know where the hell i was back then (I know I was a member at the time), but glad I gve a listen today. Outstanding stuff. Night Owl Blues. Hell yeah!!!!!
Also: Apparently the B-side to What a Day for A Daydream....Hah!

For those who haven't checked this out, they switch from a slow blues (12/8) to an medium tempo shuffle without blinking an eye, then back after two bars. Sophisticated--rivaling the second chorus of Juke (see how I did that?)
And nice on the John Sebastian. That time change was awesome. This guy is something else. Man there are just so many excellent musicians out there. I literally discover great new ones everyday. (Well discover for myself, Anyhow.) ----------
