: Hey Bluz...
: Whoever told you that you are "at best a mediocre player" probably is having a laugh with the knowledge that you believe it. I consider myself better than mediocre, but I'm awed by your encyclopedic knowledge of technique as well as your technical know-how.
: I don't expect any brownie points for saying all this, but please don't sell yourself short in your future postings!
As I have said in the past, kind words are always appreciated. Thats how I look at myself. I can, and will improve. This can be a thankless job. Especially when some JackAss thinks its about me. It`s Not. Its about music, and you pass it on. Iam very fortunate to be in an area with some Kick Ass Harp players. Everyone has helped me, and everyone I consider a friend. They share the stage, and a wealth of knowledge. Its not a competition, its music, the Blues. Screw that competitive Guitar mentality. I wish I could buy Charlie Musselwhites Harmonica and then sound like him, or Huey Lewis`s harp, but it dont work that way. You practice and you learn. Want instant gradification play a stereo. Thanks for your post Patrick......
