    I stumbled on to your blog and enjoyed the format very much.
    I was the bass player at the end of Texas Storm and then along with Jimmie Vaughn, Denny Freeman, and Doyle Bramhall I moved to Austin to start STORM. I have open for or played with a lot of the blues greats.
    I play the Harp now and there is a CD on CDBABY of my original songs called HILLBILLY HIPPIES. This CD has some Harp but is mostly Texas 60’s music style.
    I am working on another project that will feature my harp playing more.
