@dbigwalker All's cool, big!  The real travesty is all the awesome blues players black, white, yellow or pale skin who are getting screwed by the big record companies who push all the rap crap, hip hop crap, today's r&b crap...whatever the hell that's supposed to mean anyway....and the stupid little boy bands that's played on normal radio. It's a real tough business to be in by yourself. The real musicians struggle or don't make a damn dime because of this industry-wide atrocity!

@Harpgrindin No, I'm not a racists,and I also know that I should not have posted this. I'm sorry I was feeling sorry for myself. What I wrote Is from my experiences with Mark. I also think he's a very good harp player and

It was very unprofessional of me to write in that way.Only God knows the truth :#)

[Harpgrindin]

@dbigwalker What are you a racists or something? Just where or how did he cheat the black musicians? I suppose you think he should pay some resitution to you, right? I, for one, dig his harp playing very very much and he is one of the best, however, to be fair, I wish he would find a singer because he just isn't a good singer.

Great playing David, your one of the best in the world!!!!!! Great singing by Mark Hummel!!!

At 10 minutes this was the longest, most tedious piece of video I have ever endured. It was like trying to run a marathon hip deep in mud. I didn't have the patience to make it to the end so jumped ahead at 1:27, and found the harp solos didn't kick in until almost 7:00. YAwn!

FANTASTIC, COMPELLING, RIVET'S LISTENERS TO LIGHT THEIR BIC. MARK SINGIN' THE BLUES, & MAKE US FEEEEEEEL THAT BLUES POWER. huuuu...

[Baloneyhum]

BB King even said It was white boys who kept Blues alive, in particular Mick Jagger and Eric Clappton.

[detroitbluesguy]

We would all like to thank the black man for putting the blues together for all of us whites to play copy and enjoy..God bless them all.JC

[dbigwalker]

Mark got where he is today by lying about and cheating black musicians. I know I'm one of them.

But he plays very well. That dose not make him a good person. Why should I keep quite about it?

most of those he cheated or lied about are dead now. Like Mississippi Johny Waters. May your karma catch up with you Mark Hummel! Big Time!
