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

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

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

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
