Steve Baker writes for well known commercial music magazin in Germany called FACHBLATT MUSIK MAGAZIN Nr.11/96 Nov., which is a kind of pop-rock-guitar-amp magzin , but also open for evry kind of instrument , even one of the better one. steve writes a regularly blues harp workshop, so it is announced. this is a little unusual for germany , because the blus harp is one of the most underrated and misunderstood instrument in german mass media of pop rock magazins ... it is shurely because of marine bands 100 anniverssary and probably because of the growing popularity of many harpplayers on (blues-) sessions ... let's hope they don't cancel it and let's also hope that it does not take another 100 years for chroms to come in music magazins. non germans might be surprised, but as far as i know , this is the first appearance of blues harp steadily in a commercial magazin.
it is a bit a shame , i know , for a country so deep involved in music of evry style, but it's not too late and i am shure steve will do a great job with that workshop...
