Paul and Eric,

I enjoyed every word of the latest saga and I thought I was the only harp player, conga player that suffered with the inability of some guitar player to recognize the destructive power of the unleashed ax!!!!!

Donna was talking again this morning about the transient lifestyle.  Tempting.  Subsistence would be good and I am set up for that but it also would tie me down to a place.  I want to dwell at the center point of the earth and "the center of the earth is wherever you are standing" (Black Elk) paraphrased.  So anywhere is everywhere. ]]> Sat, 04 Feb 2012 13:38:24 +0000 http://www.deltafrost.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10001&PID=94460#94460 Bean Blossom Blues Fest : Possum Living, part one of 3 http://www.deltafrost.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10001&PID=94459#94459 Author: MSarge

well, not everyone had a miserable time...
 actually most of the crowd had a great time as the picture below taken by a cell phone shows.

and I have a confession to make...
. the 40 people (80%) out of the 50ish present who came to "SEE ME"  I guess , altho factual ,
came off like I was bragging that I am somehow a local idol

not the case at all... they are all,,, yes Eric,, HILLBILLIES with cow chip residues on the their shoes..


they are also all related to me....

in the pic below... the wild child 3rd to the right is one of my daughters..Angie  the 2nd to right is her sister in law Addie... and so on
one of my other  daughters was there with her new beau..,
, and my son had flown in from London with his fiancee'...
it was heart warming to have all of them with their significant others, brothers, sisters., cousins and in-laws and such turn out to see the old man come out of retirement...
 which IS essentially,, what I was attempting,, after 25 years away from any real attempt to play music for compensation
I walked in an hour late with my gear,, and there was a small gathering outside to help me carry it in,,
and I was SO surprised to see the efforts my kids had gone to to ensure I had an audience

which is why I was DOUBLY pizzed when those two self deluded StratoStars turned it into a train wreck as if it was a crowd that God provided for their personal gratification and exhibistionistic  posing and preening ...
and that godawful whining Neil Young crap and screaming endless 8 octave  torturing of pentatonic scales

but the Kids enjoyed themselves.. as seen below..
. It is just that the music shamed and embarrassed,me , Neil... David,, Gill and Dirk , the keyboard guy..

Bob,

There is a lot to be said for living the simple life and getting off the old rat race. I too hope for a day when I can take just such an approach. I wanna learn more about how harmonica Bruce gets it done. I see a new Bean seminar coming up titled "getting of the grid of life with all of your harmonicas in tune"]]> Sat, 04 Feb 2012 13:14:41 +0000 http://www.deltafrost.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10001&PID=94457#94457 Harmonica & Ukulele Jam Room : DIY harp modification http://www.deltafrost.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10038&PID=94456#94456 Author: Hoosierboy

I agree whole heartedly in opening up your harps. That's how I taught myself to gap for my style of playing. I adjust my gaps on all my harps as they decrease in responsiveness and do the same for all new out of the box harps or reed plates.

Mike,

I appreciate and enjoy all your post on this subject. I'm ready when you are to continue the discussion, understanding I won't be plugged into the forum 24 7 but will be home most of the night today. Thanks to you, Walter and others for sharing you knowledge on these topics.

There are plenty of people that live similar to this.  Let me get my home paid for and a ffew more tools bought and ol Bobby is gonna live like a possum. There are also plenty of folks who are probably laughing at them too. Those are the ones I don't want to be associated with. That little gal is getting a real life education that will be a lot more useful in the future than a book learned education.  Now, I have to say, I don't know all the particulars of this guy and his daughter but, I envy them.]]> Sat, 04 Feb 2012 12:44:45 +0000 http://www.deltafrost.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10001&PID=94454#94454 Harmonica & Ukulele Jam Room : I'm Not a Customizer Miser http://www.deltafrost.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10037&PID=94453#94453 Author: harmonimike

I never really got into the specifics of my reedwork, but Walter has started a helpful thread on ensuring a flat comb/reedplate surface, which is also very important. There are obviously a lot of different angles to tackle the task of improving harp performance, and you'll also notice that everyone has their own special methods. If you care to hear them, there are at least two different explanations on this forum and thousands of others on the subject of achieving improved harp response, and maybe you can use that info to help formulate your own unique approach.
 
Let me know if this is too much to absorb at once. I can hold off on further describing my process of customization if need be. I also hope that Walter and any other DIY'ers would give their two cents and I'd encourage you to take all perspectives into consideration.
