Now that I've been working as a substitute teacher, I met a teacher that just happens to live in my old home town. I had never met him before, as he moved to my old village just two years before I left. Anyway, we got to talking and I found out he is a pro blues harp player as well. He is somewhat older than me, and he was saying that at one time, he played with Lightnin' Hopkins! We just talked briefly, but I'd like to hear more! School's about to end, so I probably won't talk to him until August again, but I wouldn't mind hearing him play, and maybe (if he lets me), play along with him (There aren't many Blues players around here, so maybe he'll welcome someone who is into the Blues to accompany him!). Wow, you have to pursue this. What an opportunity.............for the harp player I mean, to have the chance to play with a Blues guitarist.

Seriously though I'm with Mojo on the importance of live performance. Not sharing your music leaves a void in the experience of playing. Of course this is just my opinion but I happen to be TOTALLY right about this. ;D ;D ;D Even if it just starts out playing in the living room for your girlfriend it is fulfills the purpose of the medium. Music was created to be shared. If I got a girl friend I would no longer to be able to afford a guitar, my wife would see to that.
