The Clockmaker of Rainville

A very good friend of mine wrote an awesome collection of short stories titled, Rainville, and I think it’s one of the coolest things in the world.  It’s a marvelously quirky bit of writing about the lives of a couple

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

Shawn Irwin and His Virtuosic Chops

In all of my YouTube browsing, I’ve often seen a related video pop up titled “The Best Harmonica Player in the World” which, until today, I never bothered clicking.  How could I pass it up, you ask?  Not sure… but

Rhythm and Blues

I came across this video of a busker in Washington DC who performs with a snare and an amplified harmonica.  I really love the simplicity of his beat and that he can play a snare with one hand while rocking
