That's Jimmy Fadden. His playing on the "Will the Circle Be Unbroken" albums was a big influence for me.

I used to sit in on a local Bluegrass jam on guitar, some dobro and harp. Listening to the "Circle" albums was really helpful for getting ideas for harp. Jimmy mostly plays 2nd position in a bluesy style which works well for the old timey bluegrass stuff. Most other bluegrass harp players play fast fiddle style tunes (like Mike Stevens) which I personally just cant pull off. The guys at the jam seemed to like what I played, I should start sitting in again, it was fun. I should dust off those albums and start "borrowing" again. :)

This post is SO cool for a few reason. First because my dad has been working up a version of the Fishin' Blues on guitar that I have been itching to add a harp part to, and secondly because Scoltx has mentioned that he plays dobro which is something I have just started working on myself. Excellent stuff!
