A Classical Medley
I’ve been fascinated by classical harmonica music ever since I first heard Buddy Greene rock Carnegie Hall. I was hooked immediately and set out to learn what he was playing. Fast forward 5 or 6 years, and I’ve managed to

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

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

Tim Horton’s Shuffle
One of the beautiful things about having a harmonica with you at all times is that lines become much more easier to deal with. Take, for example, when you’re waiting in the drive through line to get a coffee. No

My New Favorite Place to Buy Harps
Well, dear reader, consider this my second official endorsement (though I’m not getting anything for writing this, so I suppose it would be an unofficial endorsement… bah, point being, I endorse these guys!). It has long been my curse that

Jam on Warren’s Porch
This weekend I had the pleasure of attending a friend’s birthday party and at some point during the night found myself on the porch with a harmonica and a small audience. It’s always nice to play for people who really

I Want to Love Hohner Again
My first harmonica was a worn out old tremolo I found in my great grandfather’s old footlocker. My second harp was a no-name harp someone gave me. But the first harmonica I actually paid money for was a Hohner Special

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

Auditioning for Legitimacy
Not long ago I found out that it’s not actually legal to busk in the subway stations in Toronto without a license. (oops) And those licenses are limited to 75 a year. (really?) And to get one of those

I won!
Seydel is having an advent calendar giveaway and I won yesterday! I don’t think I’ve ever won anything before (despite what my spam folder may tell me). I won a Seydel mini… a 4-hole harp in the key of C.

It’s been a long day at work and I’m anxious for dinner to be done so I can get a shower and go for a harmonica walk. I don’t particularly want to play, nor do I want to play anything
