[Harp-L] Paul Jones

[Lasse R]

Hi everyone,
My name is Lasse from Sweden and this is the first time for me to post a topic here.
Hope I'll succeed. And I hope you'll excuse me for any misspelling and grammatical errors...

I'd like to know what you guys think about Paul Jones.
Saw The Blues Band a couple of weeks ago here in Sweden. It was a great show with great musicians. Nice to see how they were interacting and they really had a lot of fun. It's a democratic band with all its merits and demerits. Four of them sharing the vocals... But the show really took off every time Paul Jones handled the song-mic. He's a great show-man! And... a gorgeous harp player. He sure have got his own style of playing (IMHO). Talked to him after the show and he told me he's using The Marine Band -out-of-the-box. I´ve been playing the harp for 20 odd years, but I don't know how the h... he's doing those things without any manipulation?
Well I'll try to keep it shorter next time.
Take care!
Lasse

I agree with you Lasse... Paul Jones has long been one of my favourite harp players (and not just because being in the UK I get to see/hear him more than most). I'd rate him as certainly one of, and maybe the, best UK harp player around right now.

Interesting to hear that he plays out-of-the-box MBs, since he also endorses UK customiser/builder Antony Dannecker's products

Paul Jones also hosts an excellent weekly blues show on BBC Radio 2. If you can't get it over the airwaves you can tune in on-line:

Hi Jim, Nice to hear that you agree with me about Pauls harp playing. He was smashing that night here in Sweden, I think. About him playing out-of-the-box MBs, he told me it's more inexpensive for him. (Guess he's sponsored by Hohner ;). Anyway...thanks for the tips on the links. Checked out A. Dannecker's page and I think I'll get me one of his 'Dannecker Blues' models too. And on monday I'll listen to Paul's blues show on BBC Radio 2Lasse> From: Jim.P...@hp.com> To: chil...@hotmail.com; har...@harp-l.org> Date: Wed, 20 Feb 2008 10:09:03 +0000> Subject: RE: [Harp-L] Paul Jones> > I agree with you Lasse...
