Returning to My Roots
I can’t believe it’s been a year and a half since last I posted. Well, since I seem to be unable to keep up searching the internet for harmonica gems to share with you, I’m going to keep the Love Affair alive

A Dragon Hunter’s Tale
This weekend I ventured, yet again, deep into the bowels of the TTC where I played the tale of Brave Sir Guy (pronounced the French way, like “gee”). I really enjoy playing songs with such pronounced phrasings. It gives the

A Classical Medley
I’ve been fascinated by classical harmonica music ever since I first heard Buddy Greene rock Carnegie Hall. I was hooked immediately and set out to learn what he was playing. Fast forward 5 or 6 years, and I’ve managed to

With Apologies to John Williams
Lately, I’ve been playing around with “Death of a Jedi” from John Williams’ epic score to Star War Episode 6. It’s not much yet, but I wanted to share because… well, just because. BE WARNED: there is a very loud

Stairwell Jam
I love subterranean acoustics. I love it when you find that perfect underground spot to play, cornered in just right and surrounded by concrete. The other day, for instance, I was waiting for a friend in front of his condo

A Summer Subway Song
I haven’t spent nearly enough time in the subway lately! So I went down today and blew a few tunes on my new Golden Melody in B-flat. Yes, I broke down and bought a Hohner because the Seydel I want

Something Had to Break the Silence
Hello, dear reader, it’s been a while. I found one of my old videos and thought it was worth sharing with you. It’s a harmonic minor jam I shot while alone on the subway one morning. Nothing special, just fun,

Subway Gypsy Jam
Just filling a few minutes on an empty subway car heading to work one morning. Have I ever mentioned how much I like having an instant concert in my pocket? The song’s nothing special, but it is a lick I’ve

Monkeying Around on a Seydel Low D
I picked up a Seydel 1847 Silver in Low D and can’t stop playing blues shuffles! It’s such a gorgeous harp to play and the low D has such a beautiful, throaty growl to it. It’s hard to make a

Tim Horton’s Shuffle
One of the beautiful things about having a harmonica with you at all times is that lines become much more easier to deal with. Take, for example, when you’re waiting in the drive through line to get a coffee. No

Jam on Warren’s Porch
