10,000 harp players will come and go in future generations. But there will still only

be One Bill Clarke. Comparisons among

the Elite shouldn't even be made. It's in

bad taste...and it tastes bad. ;>0~

Any Video of William Clarke is Cool, Quality don't even matter when the Videos are Rare, Not alot of Video was shot of Bill, If there is any other people out there with Video, His Widow Jeannette would be happy to have them for all of Bill's Fans to see, Please contact Jeannette if you can Help any Quality is Fine, Bill was always a cool dude, a Gigantiac player with a True Heart & awsome tone. I was happy to bare witness from 1986, to 96, I had seen a minimum of 2 shows a year or more.

Jeannette I met your man at club on W Pico c 1 july 94, where he received me kindly. One room over, people were playing pool oblivious of the fact that one of the top 10 bluesmen on the planet was within earshot. I was cool enough not to say anything like that to Mr C. He woulda told me - sometimes, people who dig that are going to want to play pool As for his musicianship: endless re-invention of cross-harp language, and like Sugar ray Norcia, can just keep bearing down.

@jlodovici You are right, my deep respect to Bill Clarke the coolest harp master in the world. Great singing, unbelievable playing. Greetings from LIMA, PERU

Walter Jacobs wrote "the original book on Chicago style blues harp." All though there have been many great blues harpist to come after Little Walter, none have added anything significant to "that book." That is until William Clarke came along.

Amazing. . .love it. . .there's only one Bill Clarke. Love Alex's playing on here (as with everything he does like with Lester Butler, Tad Robinson, Rod Piazza) and Eddie on drums is just the bomb. Man, that's just awesome american music, right there.
