Subject: Bunch o' guys

the five harp players in question are:

Winslow Yerxa
Joe Filisko
Dennis Gruenling
Allen Holmes
Chris Michalek

How can we do it justice? I think we do a great amount of justice. SPAH and BHF
would not hire us year after year if we didn't do it justice. Varied voices and
texture? Have you listened to our version of Mood Indigo or Black and Tan
Fantasy that stuff is some of the most beautiful stuff I have ever heard.

We are simply doing things that has never been done before in a vein that is
unexpected and we do it well minus a few mishaps. I hold Winslow in the highest
regard for his hard work with our group. Winslow is nothing less than a genius
when it comes to arranging this stuff and the guys in this group are some of the
best diatonic players to ever grace the earth.

Paul your comment is offensive to the entire harmonica community. Your attitude
ensures that the harmonica will never be more than a toy in your hands. I
challenge you to play one line of Winlow's work and see if you can play it let
alone do it justice. You owe Winslow an apology.
