I love doing this :) some Guitarists think 'Hey, its only a Harp player, I'll take them to school....Oh hang on! I'm having my Butt handed to me!!'

Popper is so good it's ridiculous, he could have really stolen the show there.

She did a song, "Headin' back to Texas" back in early 90s. Really rocked the house every time. I would make her play it for me till she was starting to hate me. I was hoping to find it here.

Do you ever get back to LA, Becky?

@catalinaislandtime thats nonsense! Popper is the greatest musician out there. You cannot compare a guitar with a harp. He's much much better than her!

shes having fun, but he is way out of her league

There's not much to go on here, but I'd say she's not really in Hopper's league. Check out his work with Jimmy Herring and Derek Trucks on the Frogwings videos: those guys are up to the job! Possibly the finest ensemble of musicians on one stage you'll ever see!

i dont know you

Heh, my guitar teacher, who's a prolific jazz musician, been around the block a few times, told me about this harmonica player who carries several different harmonicas in different octaves and keys and whatever else (I'm not a harmonica player) on his belt, and he switches them out on the fly in order to keep up with other instruments. Says the guy's incredible. I up voted your comment by the way.

I've seen Becky Barksdale perform 4 times. She is incredible. Watching her handle lead, rhythm and vocals up there with the command she has is something you have to see. If she ever performs anywhere near you, and you're a fan of scorching Texas style blues, don't miss this girl. May be the best performer I've ever seen.
