I have a minor MB with "Moll n" inscribed in the cover plate....are these still available? Are they sold as just minor or natural minor? Great harp for playing "Summertime" in cross position....
Anyway, someone on the list mentioned new harp-related CD releases and I just have to be a company man and mention that I've heard advances of the new Bluestime (Magic Dick & Jay Geils) disc and it's happily harp-heavy! The Magic harp's developed by Dick and Pierre Beauregard really sing (or maybe just Dick make them sing!) And on Boston's Tone-Cool label distributed by Rounder I've really enjoyed the advance copy of Paul Rishell (guitar) and harp-L's own Little Annie Raines (harmonica) new one...I've had the pleasure of knowing Annie for years and it makes so proud to see her getting recognized for her immense talent...when people ask me who my favorite harp player is I always tell 'em Little Annie (next to myself of course)....she's got an incredible tone and blows consistently interesting, engaging solos....of course, Paul's no slouch either...he just one of the best damn things to happen to traditional Country blues....oh well, enough spamming (well, I'm not really spamming, 'cause I'd write this even if I didn't work here at Rounder! :)
I love this list, by the way...finally, a place where people do nothing but talk about harmonica!
