Love it! Thank you, Richard, for sharing your wealth of harp knowledge with the world. Because of you, I’ve learned a heck of a lot about hot rodding my own harps! Keep up the great work.

Richard;

You are a true inspiration- i mean it. I only NOW find out about HHR? What did I do to be kept in the dark; LOL ?

YOU’RE TOO BRIGHT A SHINING STAR TO BE HIDDEN UNDER A BUSHEL BASKET. THANKS FOR ALL YOU do- and
YES IM A TOOOL FREEEEEAK!

I finally have decided to plunge in. I have regrouped several U$ED Golden Melody’s- and recently discovered, at least in the context of my less than stellar harp past- I still have some chops. Repeat- COMPARATIVELY.

Lest you think I’m bragging- I was OUT ON THE SIDEWALK- ten feet tops away- huge opened French doors- but for a couple years- Pinetop Perkins tolerated me at Nuno’s on Sixth in Austin- & I could ALWAYS feel it when he sat down.

He’ has been promoted. What do I do now?

Problem is, though- similar to what Janis Jpolin quipped; I can’t play squat unless I can FEEEEL it somehow.

I’m under no delusions to become a pro- but would seem much more accommodating to be able to more readily CONTRIBUTE to those around me- as Corky Siegel does as his core crux- if I weren’t so stifled.

Any ideas?
