The best advice I ever got

Shortly after moving to Woodstock New York in the early 70's, I was playing with the Jerry More Work Band at The Joyous Lake ( a great local club) After finishing for the night, Paul Butterfield came into the dressing room and introduced himself to me. I was thrilled to say the least! He then said ,"kid you're really good, but you play too @**@in' much!" I was devastated. I walked around for days thinking about killing myself, or him. However it dawned on me that Paul was doing me a great favor. A harp player is an addition to any band and as such, needs to enhance the music not dominate it. So if you will, allow me to pass this great advice along. Paul and I became great friends and I miss him.
