Hey all... I'd love to hear about any harmonica videos that you like that are free on the internet. It doesn't have to be your very favorite video. Any video that you want to share I be stoked to check out. I thought for this post we could stick with the topic of Entertainment as opposed to education. I searched for an hour to find my favorite Howard Levy video but couldn't find it so I'm going to start with my first harmonica idol Sonny Terry:
Hope you enjoy! jp |

Great topic, JP! For me - hands down: Slow Blues, James Cotton! Even if you are not a blues [harmonica] fan, I encourage everyone to watch and listen to this vid all the way through.  Talk about -feeling- and playing the blues...wow.

Wow! A Victrola player and 78 rpm record!  Kids today don't know what they're missing out on anymore!  |

All of the above, although I must say that Buddy Greene is pretty much tops for me. Although the way Christel plays Leonard Cohen's Halallujia and Georgia On My Mind are very good also.
I couldn't find it, but she has a vid of her playing blues at a night club, awesome!

I like sooo many of the youtube videos. I'm a huge Rick Estrin fan along with Charlie Musselwhite, Sonny Boy Williamson and that James Cotton slow blues is killer.
But currently I'm really diggin' this piece by Sugar Ray Norcia, "Life Will Be Better" -- been learning it for my own gigs. The words are killer and fit the song perfectly.
(I tried to embed the video but couldn't make it work.)

I was searching You Tube for kids playing harmonica to show my Grandson and ran across this- thought I'd share.. kid has a good ear!... 5 year old harmonica player with a perfect ear (Embedding disabled, limit reached) And here is another that is a good player... 9 YEAR OLD STIRS UP MADNESS AT SCHOOL. (Embedding disabled, limit reached) I bought a couple cheep harmonicas on Amazon for my grand kids (5 and 9). I will teach them the basics that I have learned when I go up to visit next weekend (Thanksgiving). If my Daughter-in-law makes a video I will share it with you all. I tried them both out. They are a little difficult . The plastic one has texture which makes it difficult to slide your lips across because it isn't smooth. The one I got my grandson you can hear air escaping, so now I know what they mean by being "air tight". If he seems to enjoy it I will get him a better one later on. |

OK, all the greats mentioned above, including Terry McMillan, BUT...............
after watching the video, I have to vote for JOE! Way to go JOE! Hey Joe, where you goin' with that axe in hour hand?
Now for JP......JP the Blue Ridge Mountain Man!
In that video, wearing your harp hanger, you look like you're wearing overalls.
That will put you in good standing with our people here around the Blue Ridge Escarpment. You are now an honorary redneck. Congratulations! You might not have been born one, but you got here as fast as you could.
I think I'll put in a vote for JP too. Not only does he lay down some great soundwaves, but he has a real heart to help harp beginners.
But I'm stickin with Joe for today. He worked hard on that piece, and it shows. Success.
