Ladies play the blues (harp)

Little Annie Raines taught a Women-Only course in Blues Harp that is covered by this article. I took some lessons from Annie about 16 years ago. (Little Annie is right, she's under five feet and I'm 6 foot 3, so she must have had a stiff neck from talking to me.)

Link to the Ladies Play the Blues (harp) video.

Annie is a great teacher. My only criticism is that the article has precious little of Annie's playing in it.

Harp players are mostly men, but the women harp players that I have met have all been damn good at it.

good article

 

Buy the Book!

I cleaned up my tab for Sonny Boy's Help Me and made it into a short book. There's a Kindle version for 99 cents, and if you buy the paperback you get the Kindle free.
