[huachiman7]

Any chance you'll also release the "one-man band" version of the CD also?

[KudzuRunner]

@huachiman7: No.  This version IS the album.

"I can get my sound on any marine band harp" I love it!!!!with all the legendary blues harp music produced on marine bands,I have NO doubt about it!!!!

[clevetidwell]

Great video and incredible message. I'm hoping my China trip gets changes so I make the Boulder session. It's been crazy for me on schedule but I plan to be there and will known by Dec 28th. Have a great Holiday.

Adam do you do that "Joe Fisklo"custom or you ;play "out of the box"harps.

[KudzuRunner]

@jleoblues: I play "out of the box" Marine Bands, for the most part. On SOUTHBOUND, I used several harps apart from that, including Hohner Marine Band Crossover, a Joe Spiers Stage I (on "Alley Cat"), and, on this cut, a custom harp that somebody gave me several years ago and that I'd stowed in the bottom of my harp bag. It had a very sticky reed. But it had a great sound.

Truth is, I can get my sound on any Marine Band type harp.

@KudzuRunner

Thanks Adam: You are the real deal:

I spend too much time on Harrp-L reading comments about the necessity of custom-fitting reeds and altered harps. Hell Didn't" Shakey" Walter play "out of the box' harps and he had a tone to die for?

[KudzuRunner]

@jleoblues: There's nothing wrong with gear-talk. But gear doesn't play itself, and especially when you're talking about blues--rather than Howard Levy style jazz--the gear makes less of a difference than some gearheads seem to think.

@KudzuRunner

Funny,I was at a workshop and Howard made a comment that we "spend too much time" talking about the harp and not enough time playing and learning technique.Personally, I love Blues but its nice if you can throw some Ellington Basie or Mingus in the mix. Adam, you are a national treasure and the generosity that you share your gifts is more than admirable! Happy holidays

Adam, here is Carlos Bluesman from Brazil. Is it true that Cross Harp harmonica playing is 90% aspiring than blowing out?

Man, that´s why all blues harpist become very red, like a tomato, during performances?

I can´t stand so much time. Do you have a hint about it?

Hugzzz.

[RevDelbert]

Thanks Adam; and yeah, if that harp clogs and that kind of s****, you just gotta adapt and keep on going; I find that to be especially true playing with a church group!! See you on Feb. 25 at the Tulsa Harp Summit, and Keep on Harpin'!! Recently had the pleasure of doing a killer harp part on "Go Tell it On the Mountain"!!

[trottleskeeze]

Hi Adam, I bought your CD and I'm glad to hear you playing guitar. It's fun listening to you while I drive my car and trying to steal some of your licks with my old Marine Band. I keep practicing guitar as my second instrument. It takes a lot of time to get something which works!!! Thanks to Justin Sandercoe which is one of the best guitar teacher on the web. Keep on blowing and strumming Adam!

Cool! I hope to make it to Hill Country Harmonica in May.

[pedrobrito]
