Well, those insane harpers at the Buckeye Harmonica Festival got together and twisted my arm (and made me miss you people all the more!) to get back on harp-l...so I'm back and about to take up some more space (dang it)....I missed you!
BTW...the Buckeye Harmonica Festival was more fun than a barrel of monkeys -- in fact, I think there WERE a barrel of monkeys there. And I didn't know someone who DOESN'T EVEN PLAY HARP could have that much fun. But it was great...I'm totally addicted (not to mention in love) with a bundle of those harmonica junkies.
But to the space takin' part.... I was just informed by Gary Primich that he'd like you all to know (if you didn't already) that he has been signed by Blacktop -- which means that the next time he comes to town he can buy MY dinner!
