Looking for any info on some good blues jams or folks willing to trade some harp knowledge in the green mountain state.
What say you?
Thanks!

Stalwart, you should check out the forum map on the FAQ page and put down a pin. There aren't any pins in Vermont right now (that doesn't mean there aren't members there, just that no one has put in a pin), but depending where you are in the state you might find some nearby members. There are several pins in Mass, and some across the border in Montreal. There area couple of us over in Upstate New York too (I'm just outside Albany).
I think Mark Lavoie is over in the Middlebury area, although I don't know him personally. You are also near an odd harmonica related museum-

The Amazing Jimmy Gordon is in Bellows Falls. And Bob Stannard is in Rutland. Guitarist Paul Asbell lives in the Burlington area, he was originally from Chicago and played on a number of seminal blues albums including Fathers and Sons and The London Howling Wolf Sessions. But the true harp legend in the area is out of Springfield, MA, Babe Pino.

Thanks for the info! I've heard of the harp case man as a close friend of mine actually shot the video for WCAX. Quite the character I'm told.
