Default I dare not start a new thread on harp players......

(In Peter's case, always expect the unexpected !)

But, as all that is unknown, lets assume it contains artists we already know he admires .so it got to include: BB King, Bob Marley ,Mark Knopfler ,Freeddie King, Robert Johnson and presumably many other blues greats( including some harmonica players- Peter is quite fond of playing the harp himself but I've never seen him mention harp players - a new thread in itself ?) Carlos Santana . early Eric Clapton, John Mayal and definitely, Hank Marvin and the Shadows...................

and by no means least ,a track or two of heavy Xylophone by Sweep (of that great jazz combo Sooty and Sweep !)
I remember reading somewhere (now where I don't remember), that PG liked Little Walter and Shakey Walther Horton. Shakey Walther Horton because of his abillity to play harp and sing at the same time. PG's own harmonicastyle has elements from both of them.
