Harmonic Minor and a Bullwhip
This morning’s post has less to do with quality harmonica playing and more to do with the fact that snapping a bullwhip (actually, two bullwhips) while playing is a pretty impressive feat. Meet Adam Winrich. He says he has been

Daddy’s Got the Blues

Howard Levy Channeled Through a Puppet
Today I came across an exhilarating piece by harmonica master, Howard Levy… sort of. The video, actually, is a puppet named Scat Dog “covering” one of Levy’s performances on Garrison Keillor’s radio show, A Prairie Home Companion. (If anyone knows

This weekend I played around with recording loops in GarageBand and came up with this song tat my friend has, for some reason, dubbed “Uncle Parker”. Works for me. It’s not perfect, but there are some pretty cool moments in it.

Today, It’s About a Shelf
It’s not always about the sound here on Harmonica Love Affair. Sometimes it’s about related things that may or may not have any direct effect on your playing. Today, it’s about a shelf. A wooden one, in fact. I came

Quebecois Folk Music for the Win
Yesterday I had the great pleasure of discovering a folk trio out of Quebec, Canada called De Temps Antan. These guys are amazing musicians who hit your ears with a toe-tapping sound that can’t help but bring joy to your

How about some Jason Ricci?
Jason Ricci is one of the more colorful characters I’ve come across in my search for great harmonica players and one of the most talented, as well. A harmonica mechanic who customizes harps by hand, Ricci has some wicked technical
