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

Some Canadian Beatbox Harmonica
It’s been too long! Sometimes I take a break from posting, but I inevitably find some artist who is good enough to compel me to post again. Today, that someone’s name is James Anderson, from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. This guy

Mali Blues
Today I discovered a fascinating musician named Boubacar Traoré, largely hailed as the founder of the modern Mali Blues style. Born in 1942 in Kayes, Mali, Boubacar was a superstar in his own country in the early 1960’s until political

Son of Dave
Son of Dave was once Benjamin Darvill of the Crash Test Dummies but he was reborn as a harmonica virtuoso and beatbox musician extraordinaire. He inspires me and someday I will own a loop pedal thanks to him. As

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

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

My New Favorite Place to Buy Harps
Well, dear reader, consider this my second official endorsement (though I’m not getting anything for writing this, so I suppose it would be an unofficial endorsement… bah, point being, I endorse these guys!). It has long been my curse that

A Milestone!
This, dear readers, is my 101st post. I started this blog in November 2011 with the intention of reviewing Seydel harmonica. Yes, I liked my first Seydel so much, I started a blog about it. Well, I have only bought

Some Beautiful Gospel Harmonica
Today I came across a video of a beautiful celebration that just happened to have some wonderful harmonica music in it. This is a Going Home celebration for Shirly Stith, of Tarboro, North Carolina. A Going Home celebration a type

Galapagos Duck with Greg Foster on Harp
This weekend I came across a really snazzy little jazz number by an Australian band called Galapagos Duck. To be completely honest, I don’t know if I was drawn more by the harmonica or the band’s name, because both are

Harmonica on a Moonbase
I was waiting for a train this past weekend and decided to make a video. The acoustics in that tunnel were amazing! And the resulting videos taken from a hastily positioned phone make it look like I’m on a moon
