Some Well Known Blues Traveler

It’s been a day chock-full of John Popper so why not throw in an oldie but a goodie? I’m sure most everyone has heard Blues Traveler’s song, “Hook,” and the killer harmonica work contained within, but I’m going to post

High Energy Harmonica

I’ve been wanting to post a video of John Popper for quite a while now, but hadn’t found just the right one until today! This morning I came across a video of John Popper and Blues Traveler playing Crash Burn

French Blues in Lithuania

This morning, while searching for something altogether different, I stumbled across a video of a French blues player by the name of Jean Jaque Milteau.  What an awesome discovery!  This guy plays some unbelievable harmonica!  I had to go back

Howlin’ Wolf

Since I posted a James Cotton video, I figured I’d follow it by one of the men he got his start with, Mr. Howlin’ Wolf.  Howlin’ Wolf has to be one of the most physically impressive figures I’ve watched play

James Cotton Superharp

Today I’m going to post a video that I love and have listened to many times before.  It’s a song by the great James Cotton that I know only by its YouTube title, Slow Blues. Mr. Cotton got his start

Phil Wiggins Improvs the Blues

Today I had the great pleasure of discovering a blues virtuoso by the name of Phil Wiggins.  Man, this guy really makes my toes tap!  The way he slides around those blues licks and sets melodies free from his cupped

A Cold March Night in Toronto

It’s the end of March and it snowed last night.  Oh, Canada.  I was tricked into thinking Spring had arrived so I shaved my beard and then this!  My face… it is so cold!  So I burrowed myself into my

Daddy’s Got the Blues

I found this song through my harmonica friends over at Reddit.  (Never been there?  Go check it out!  Those guys post some great harmonica links.)  Daddy’s Got the Blues is a track off the Final Fantasy XIII soundtrack.  I’m increasingly

Muppet Show Blues

Why yes, there is a theme developing today.  No, there’s no particular reason.  One search leads to another and sometimes you find yourself smack dab in the middle of a puppet-and-harmonica feast.  I came across this cover of the Muppet

Country Dog Plays Happy Birthday

While we’re on the subject of puppets (see previous post), I might as well throw in this little Happy Birthday ditty being played by the Muppets’ Country Dog.  Nothing spectacular about it, I suppose, except that it’s got a nice

Tonight I had the pleasure of discovering Mr. R.J. Harman, a champion harmonica player out of Florida who will absolutely knock your socks off.  This guys is only 21 years old in this video from 2010 and has excellent articulation,

God Bless Buddy Greene

Buddy Greene was my inspiration to learn and play classical music on a diatonic harmonica.  His style is so fluid and beautiful.  His trills are perfectly placed and he selectively allows second notes to float in for the perfect chords
