Can You Hold Your Fingers Like This?

Mouth Organ Madness

I'd never seen it before, but there it was, waiting for me patiently, a whole website full of harmonica music and only sweet-scented harmonica music, honey where you been so long? Ukranian harmonicas with Jaws harps, and Night Train and Peanut Vendor for harmonica. sigh. I'll go have a personal moment now.

Cryptic Covers

Today's cryptic album cover features a hastily assembled tableau of Man Examining Harmonica and Ignoring Nearby Parasol. The music is pretty good, I especially liked Beer Barrel Polka (Barrel de Chopp).

Cha-Cha-Cha Twist Etc.with Trio Harmônico

This would have to be the finest collection of cha cha and twist music by a Brazilian harmonica trio that I have heard, surely all day, at least. You can get it from Abracadabra - LPs do Brasil 2 if you're so inclined.

DeFord Bailey

"If I don't blow my harp, I hurt. God put that on me to play. He wanted to use my talent."

The first African-American to become a regular on any country-music radio show. DeFord Bailey, was one of the most creative artists to ever play the Grand Ole Opry.

Here's a rare look at the "Harmonica Wizard" circa 1967.
