I was looking for some traditional blues licks that miht work well on the harp. Came across this:

The sax players influence the harp players who influence the sax players. How cool is that?

Well, sax players have influenced a number of great and very influential harp players like Little Walter, and some years back when I was hanging with the great sax playing friend of mine Gordon Beadle AKA Sax Gordon, he used to tell me that he took stuff from harp players to fit into playing situations taht a harp player would make more sense and I told him that's coming full circle because many harp players including yours truely has defintely taken tons of stuff from harp players.

I must admit, sometimes i think I'm hearing sax on bluesville and suddenly a chord pops out. Some of the old amp'd tone really is a good sax simulation.

Thats great stuff, I am sure Adam would be pleased to see that he is now also influencing Sax players as well. You have to laugh though when they question his sanity later in the thread (lol, I guess they just don't get it that most harp players are a little crazy)
