    Lips Angelo Lips Angelo Hi all you fellow harp players out there! Im 46 and live in a lovely rural area about an hour n/e of Toronto. I got motivated to learn blues harp after being in New Orleans in 2001. Been playing around 7 years now. Love this site and the diversity of talent and hearing how everyone has a different take on a song. Have had the opportunity to play and learn from some of the best players around.        

    A little about myself         Ive played drums for years but sort of got bored and started learning to play harp. Play some piano, bass and guitar. I write a lot of music and sing on this site, as well as at jams. Love the blues and am proudly Canadian.

    ''I thought it actually worked ok Vekjo? I didn't go with my standard second position stuff and thought it worked ok, albeit a different sound for me :) Oh well, practice practice :) Cool bt to test drive.''

    ''You seem to be the first to try this bt. To my ears you are lost with groove and all notes do not sound very well fitting. I have tried to jam with this too, but no good results. Seems to be more difficult than I thought.''

    ''Oh I see what's happening now...dickless has hijacked Dennis's monicker minus a Z. Well Mike, you loser. You can't behave yourself, so might has well disrupt everyone else eh. Typical juvenile behaviour pattern. Wah, wah loser4fun, time for your bottle''

    ''Why waste those precious harmonica's while there's enough empty beer bottles available wherever harpn4fun goes. Let's hope one day he'll understand AA or rehab is the place he will find attention he seeks, not this site!''

    ''lots of energy in the vox - not shrill, sweet harp but could have been higher in mix''

    ''I like the lyrics and how you handled the end as it's such a long fade-out on the BT.''
       --Lonesome Harpman

    ''I sang this last night when playing and got an excellent response to the song. I kept it in C, but it gave my voice a work out.''
       --Lips Angelo

    ''Vocals were right on. Harp was well played, but recording/tone was not matched to the vocal levels. Maybe use two mic's?''
       --Eric Stahl

    Juniors Funky Blues
    ''good ole bar blues!! - vox got that raspy styling - harp solo and comping fits bang on - comping is there but doesn't overpower vox, just fills it out!! - great tone on the harp!!''
