The Syncopated Stylings of James Anderson
I posted about Mr. James Anderson a couple of years back and have been keeping an eye on his brilliance ever since. He’s got such an eloquent relationship between his beatboxing and his harmonica. Most beatbox harmonic players lack melodics and

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

A Dragon Hunter’s Tale
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

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

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,

I love hip hop about as much as I love the harmonica. There’s just something about a beat that is irresistible to me. That’s why I love it when I come across someone who has put together my two great

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
