Right On Red! Its all about TONE not speed! To a newcomer, Popper may seem to play the most awesome harp ever - but once you get some real experience under your belt and start listening the masters (Sonny Terry,Sonny Boys I and II,Little Walter,Big Walter,Dr.Ross,Frank Frost,James Cotton etc..) you will realize just how unbelievably talented some of these players were. These guys played from their soul - each note - a beautiful expression to behold...gettin goosebumps better stop!!
