When I saw him on Saturday night he was playing: guitar, and harp mostly hands free, harp was mounted on a mic on a stand with some sort of clip/shroud, sounded totally cupped. He was bopping
around, one end to the other of the harp playin' octaves, tongue flutters, etc. etc. great tongue blocking technique. Nice sound.
My head was swimming trying to follow what he was doing. Very impressive, great player (and band) all havin' fun. And yes I was sober, cross my heart. He was of course making all this look very easy, a sign of an accomplished musician. Well easy for him, He told me he's been playing harp since He was eleven years old and he's twenty eight now.
He's been in love with the harp for a while now, we both grew up in the same city, but I only just met him on saturday, I've heard stories from local musician friends about him going to bars as a kid accompanied by his dad so that he could hang out with, and learn from all the blues guys. It certainly has paid off for him.
Super nice guy
I'm so looking forward to seeing him play again.
