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,

Chilly Gonzales Doesn’t Play the Harmonica
But that man is an absolute genius on the piano! If you’ve never had the pleasure of listening to Chilly Gonzales, I invite you, one and all, to sample his wares. His most recent album, Solo Piano II follows up

I want your pictures of harmonica face! (seriously)

The Most Amazing Jam I’ve Ever Heard
I was going to save this one for next week but I just can’t do it. You have got to hear this! I stumbled across this treasure while searching for something entirely different and was absolutely blown away by how

Christelle Burthon Rocking a Busker’s Mic
I’m a big fan of Christelle Burthon and have featured her on Harmonica Love Affair before, but today I’ve discovered a new video of her that I instantly fell in love with. It seems she was walking through Sydney and

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
