I started playin' the harp in 1970. I had just graduated high school with no money to further my education I knew the draft would be hot on my tall. Grabbed some clothes and a sleepingbag my harp and set out hitch hiking across America. I wanted to see this land I was about to possibly sacrafice my life for. I would sit along side the road against mybackpack and practice my harp untila ride came along.. I was blowin' on my harp and the first car that came by stopped. He said I don't usually pick people up but I saw you playing the harmonica and I love the harmonic.It was unfortnate for this guy that I couldn't plat to well, but I found out to get rides faster pull that Harp and start wailing and dancing around the back pack. I was lucky on that trip because I met a lot of great people and avoided the draft for over a year and when I did enlist to get Army photo school at Ft. Monmouth NJ the war in Vietnam was ending and I was sent to West Berlin.

As a harmonica player, y’all don’t know how ridiculously hard it was to hit that run at 1:40. props.
@norfolknwhey4787Рік тому
Not really, just involves 3D’ and 2D’’. Jussie plays very basic stuff, in a very unique way. His magic is in his ability to hold a sweet groove.

Harmonica sounds good just blowing through it. Just love the simple stuff, love every step of the way. I assure you this guy did and that's how he got to this level!
@ragerats31449 років тому
same exact thing happened to me today with the Harp. You can get there though. I did the same thing when I started playing the piano. I listened to a lot of Chopin and it psyched me out, but I stuck with it, I ended up with a scholarship to the U of Oregon school of music. then I picked up the guitar after hearing Leo Kottke, I was bummed at how bad I sounded at first, but practice,practice, practice. I started getting calls from all sorts of venue's asking me to play. If you stick with it long enough you will start playing it rather than practicing it, and you'll realize how much joy it can bring. DONT GIVE UP!

@jimchumley29822 роки тому
Marta; Not the best but one amoung many. You really need to get out there. I consider myself average and I can do this note for note. Please check out Sonny Terry (he stoled a lot of his style from him) Also check out; Kim Wilson, Paul Butterfield, Jason Rici, Little Walter, Sugar Blue, Sonnyboy Williamson, Buddy Greene (see his harmonica jam at Carnegie Hall live) James Cotton, Charlie Mcoy These are just a few on the list of the greatest.

@rjiggy075 років тому
Let me start out with I am sorry for the long dissertation. I'm an old Diemaker from Detroit, got ended up in Flint. I worked the second shift and would hang out in the local bars in Fenton, Mi, after work. Well back in in the early 90's, there were three bars to go too. Mo' Doggies, Blaney's, and the Lake View, (we called it the snake view cause of the women that'd be there) Any way's, it was the Lake View I had the Blessing of God to hear a guy named Bill, who was invited on stage to play the mouth harp. Well, he needed help, ya see he had a bum leg, it was wooden, but didn't work to good. His wife would help him up to the stage and there would be a chair for him. He'd take his Harmonica out of his cigar box, where the others were, and wait for the band, depending on what they were going to play, (he had no idea), sometimes he would switch harmonica's. I had NEVER in my life heard such beauty from a mouth hard, up close and very personal. I gave him the nickname, "Bill the Cat", after the cartoon. and like the cartoon he died. I seen his wife in the local grocery store sometime ago and she told me Bill had passed. I am very blessed to have heard such feeling from a person through such a simple instrument. I have never heard a mouth harp artist that could hold a candle to Bill. God Bless you Bill and hold you near! Music, music, from their mouth to your ear. I am Blessed with that memory. Thank You Bill. And Thank You Juzzie, for the memory.

personally it's not what I'd play, but I'd love to be able to get a few vocal 'whoops' in between notes like he does. And yes a half decent instrument does make a difference, it's easier to learn with something that makes the music you're reading sound like how it should, if the manufacturer doesn't think it's worth their name it isn't worth your money.
