Ronnie Shellist - Playing Harp

[022852]

It sounds like you have already been to Portland. Are you coming back again to this area for another workshop. I live in White Rock B. C. Canada so this would be close! I've got a couple of your CDs and they have been very inspiring. Great work! Bussy.

I am not Ronnie, 022852. You need to go ask him that in his own channel or he will not likely read it. Which ones of his CD's do you own?

I love what Ronnie talks about in the beginning about how people have a tendency to ask abruptly from a harp player to "play something". It's just one of those things that people deem as unimportant yet it probably plagues a great amount of harp players out there. Excellent playing too as usual! :)

Yes, you got a nice taste of Oregon sunshine today for sure. I know I got nearly soaked in a downpour. I hope you got a real good nights sleep last night. Oh yea, Dave Payne told me to tell ya "dave payne says hey" and to tell to tell LaFonda that "dave Payne says hey."

Oregon Sunshine is Liquid....Oregonian's tend to rust rather than tan....

You got that right. When I met Ronnie I found him to be incredibly laid back, genuine, and sincere. He has a kind of charismatic intensity that made me really appreciate his teaching style even that much more in person. The 3 most critical YT influences that got me serious about sticking with the instrument are: Ronnie Shellist, Jason Ricci, and Adam Gusow. I have yet to meet Jason and Adam in real life but am quite sure I will be impressed by them too.

It was a joy to share...you are welcome ;-D

I might have given up playing a while back if not for encouraging tutors like Ronnie. He has a real knack for encouraging Harmonica players to delve into what they need to focus on to develop musically. Thanks for posting this good tidbit. 5/5 Stars!
