I'm sorry to say but Charlie Musselwhites playing has never really
impressed me. His intonation is almost always off. I've seen him live many
times and he was extremely intoxicated several of those times. He used
to tour with the Dynatones and that was the reason to see him. I admit I
haven't seen him in the last 5 years. People can change. Christo
Redemptor is one of the best harmonica showcase pieces ever recorded.

I use a rack mount Alesis MidiVerb for delay. It also has very good
flange and chorous capabilities. You can really get different feeling
sounds using something like this.

I think harmonica is one of the most dynamic instruments going. Lots of
harmonica players play rythmn and horn part fills. I play in a 3 piece
trio. the band would fall on it's face if I didn't play most of the
time. (no, I'm not talking about my ability, just my role) I also play
in a 6 piece straight ahead blues band. I play a lot. I play behind
peoples solos just like they play behind mine. Millions of creative
people play guitar. the world is very aware of the capabilities of
guitar in music. Our job as harmonica players has to be to show the
world that the harmonica is not a limited role instrument. To get the
musical world to treat us equally. We're not talking timpani here. Now
there's someone who's going to sit around waiting to play. FJM
