    Don't get Mick Jagger wrong, "Midnight Rambler", "Can't you hear me knocking". He plays or had played Lee Oskar harmonicas

    This WIKI quote might explain why Jason Ricci isn't more of a household name in "music households". I'd hoped that artists and musicians were more tolerant than they actually seem to be. Sad.

    "Ricci is one of the only openly **** male performers touring on the blues circuit today.[9] This has been a professional obstacle as well as an opportunity for Ricci to challenge both **** stereotypes and traditional Blues expectations:


    "The [****] community doesn't like drum sets and guitars and actual live music. They're used to lip-synching, and dudes in dresses, and Madonna, and Cher, and techno beats. Those are the things that kept me from coming out earlier. I felt like I had nothing in common with the **** community, and I still don't feel like I have a lot in common with the community. I'm hoping that changes, but the majority of their icons are press-friendly little Mickey Mouse-doll figureheads that you're more likely to see on a show redecorating somebody's house than onstage at a blues festival...When I came out of the closet as a **** white male from an upper-middle-class suburban home, I came out as not just ****, but as a white guy, and as a guy who likes punk, and as a guy who didn't come from total poverty, and all those things that we associate with being 'blues' things. And when I did that, I wanted to sing about that. I wanted to write songs about what my life was like, and I wanted to use terminology that was modern."[10]

    Though Ricci does not generally wear his sexuality on his sleeve on stage, his openness with being **** has occasionally been a difficult issue in the traditionally conservative Blues world, as he's been "disinvited" from a number of venues and events."

    To me and my ears.....Popper is WAY too frenzied and confused sounding and not just a little "unsettling". Then again, he's got plenty of fans without me in that number !:wink:

    You're getting old :lol:

    Maybe, but, I think that with age comes discernment and taste. (usually!) Actually the guy Jason Ricci I just came across does riffs just as fast and technically challenging, IMO. He just does them better and in a manner that's pleasing to these "old ears".:lol: Besides all that.....he's (Popper) extremely unpleasant visually too.:eek:

    Check out James Cotton playing with Muddy Waters on Hard Again, produced by Johnny Winters. How about Johnny Woods playing with Mississippi Fred McDowell. George Mitchell recording Mama Says I'm Crazy. LIke the man said, nothing like blues harmonica.

    I'll have to give Jason Ricci a listen.

    Last time I saw Blues Traveller, John Popper had lost a lot of weight. The bandeleros he uses to carry his harmonicas were hanging off him. I remember looking at him thinking, man he sure looks a lot bigger on the album covers, and then he mentioned his health kick.

    My favorite BT album is "Straight On Till Morning". Give a listen to cut #4, "Canadian Rose", or #11 The Gunfighter. Really any of the tracks except the first one - great stuff!

    Popper had gastric bypass surgery a few years ago. The cigarettes are still killing him though!!!!
    If you can't hear a difference, don't waste your money.
