Harpin Help April 6, 2008

This Sunday is Harpin' Help. If you are anywhere near the Jersey Shore you should drop by. It runs from 1pm to sometime after 9pm. The venue is big and roomy and there will be a zillion harp players there. I usually go down and take some pictures and if I can make it, I'll show some here.

Here's the lineup:

Turtle Soup featuring James Dalton (1:00 -1:40 pm)

The Cobra Brothers featuring Dave Mason & "Snakeman" Runyan (2:00 -2:40 pm)

Goldenseal featuring Billy Harth (3:00 -3:40 pm)

Billy Hector featuring Kenny" Stringbean" Sorenson (4:00 -4:40 pm)

Sandy Mack and the Mackettes featuring Mikey Jr. (5:00 -5:40 pm)

The Felix Cabrera Band featuring Jimmy Vivino & Rob Paparozzi (6:00 -6:40 pm)

The VooDudes featuring Big Nancy and Guest Harps (7:00 -?:40 pm)
I am a fan of both Billy Hector and Stringbean, so it will be good to see them together. Felix Cabrera is great and I will be looking forward to seeing Rob Paparozzi. There are no losers in the lineup.

 

Buy the Book!

I cleaned up my tab for Sonny Boy's Help Me and made it into a short book. There's a Kindle version for 99 cents, and if you buy the paperback you get the Kindle free.
