Hi Everyone, I'm back into one of those"will another mic sound better"
modes. I have 3 mics already and do perform publicly(see
http://www.reverbnation.com/frontporchblues ) Some of you know me for
the 10 yrs. or so I have been here and have gone through this discussion
before. I came across a "green bullet" mic site the other day and it got
me thinking. Yes, I know your tone is dependent largely by your playing
and not machinery, but has anyone strongly believed that a green bullet
made a significant improvement in their tone? This summer, the 85 yr.
old who got me into harmonica in 1964, visited us for a few days and
said I had the best tone(acoustically) he ever heard.Not bragging ,but
can a green bullet carry that quality over to an amp? Where is Silk?
Where is Adam? Where have all the old timers who use to be here on
almost a daily occurrence gone? We had tons of fun,great advise, lots of
disagreements and a little cursing. Now it's boooooring. Come back you
old geezers and stir the pot. !! Anyone know about SPAH? If not look up
the organization on line. I went to 2 conventions in St. Louis,Mo. and
the 2009 convention is scheduled for Sacramento-YES, I will be going as
I live only a 2 hr. ride from Sacramento.If you are anywhere within easy
reach of Sacramento, Ca., by all means go. It is 5 days of non stop pure
fun harmonica in every genre available. Evening performances are by the
best harp players in the world.In the future you will see who the harp
players will be who are the teachers and performers,just keep checking
the site. Classes all day by the same best players. For a good discount
on the convention, join SPAH.Relatively cheap yearly fee.Well worth the
money. Well, that's it for now. Lets see some action here!I know you
are not into winter hibernation. Keep harpin and having fun. Allen
