Here in the UK we were blessed with him also as a radio dj, his personality and insight were faultless and many successful people owe him their gratitude........great voice, great guy 😎
About the time most of the kids in the States were listening to Top Forty radio, I was digging this cat and Buddy Guy. I guess I grew tired of The Beachboys and Jan and Dean. Thanks to my relatives in England for turning me onto this guy's sound, so long ago.
Blues harp (also known as "cross harp") involves playing the harmonica in a key for which it was not designed, for example a "C" harmonica would be used in a song in the key of G. This enables the player to "bend" notes like a guitarist and to play the characteristic blues scale.
Anything is possible with drummers, but if they weren't there, the bass players would lose the plot . . . . and i feel Alexis would like to grant us a little poetic licence, if it was the guys grandfather . . . well goddam . . . ! . . . and thank you . . X
No - he played BLUES harp; another name for harmonica. "Blues harp" is technically not an actual instrument but a specific style or technique of playing a diatonic harmonica, the same sort of harmonica which can also be played quite differently for folk songs or country music.
