God damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.
Y'all are supposed to be on the cutting edge. So why has nobody yet posted the following insane video: Cyndia Lauper, backed by Charlie Musselwhite, singing Little Walter's "Just Your Fool" in the CELEBRITY APPRENTICE boardroom as The Donald gapes? It's her new single, BTW. Little Walter lives--long enough to spin in his grave, I suspect:
that raises the question; is the harmonica being introduced to a different audience? I've been noticing that recent movies and TV shows have used the harp. And now with bad news bears hip hop harmonica ... and this here performance on a show viewed by a young audience -- and the type of audience who chats about the show afterwords.
---------- I could be bound by a nutshell and still count myself a king of infinite space
Just another example of Dum white folks being force fead something Old thinking it's New, God Bless the Dum, White collars are making millions from them:)
and she realy needs a make over:)

I was *so* hoping Charlie would be able to blast Trump's hair up & over in the wrong direction on national TV, so I found the video extremely disappointing :-). Nonetheless, I thought the combination of venue, song and artists pioneered a new television genre: surreality TV.
I like Cyndi's version a lot, but it will not replace Angela Strehli's version (with Kaz Kazanoff on very competent harp) in my estimation.

I didn't know Cindy Lauper was doing blues these days, good for her. But I don't think it's gonna make blues music to progress, neither harmonica exposure ; sounds like average blues to me, so I doubt that it attracts a new audience. I liked better her pop songs ("True Colors", "Girls just Wanna..."), but I wish her to sell a lot of these ones.
On french TV, I see more harps than before, because the musical trend is for pop-rock with a growing dose of folk ; so the harp comes back a little. Maybe that's the way to bring modern blues harpin' to the media : sneaking into pop music...
