i'm no expert and i don't really understand what the hell i'm doing but just keep playing. I play while i play while I play guitar which makes it easy and fun to practice. i tried reading a book (harmonica for dummies) but found it boring and went back to just playing.


i guess the only iportant thing to understand is key signatures. do you?

I was about to say, I could probably play it like Alanis.

i wanna talk about harmonimcas

wtf is the story about alanis and a harmonica, and WTF is that picture??

alanis plays like two notes on the harmonica and anyone with lungs and lips can play like she does.

i think that was why she was mentioned.

It's some "skit" she did for the Canadian music awards after the whole "nipple/wardrobe malfunction" thing with Janet Jackson. I just thought it looked hilarious.

I don't hate her---she's probably a nice person---just fun to make fun of sometimes.

i play a harmonica.
though, i don't know if i'm any good because i've been forbidden to play around my friends anymore.

I've been trying to upload a YSI of some really great harmonica playing by a friend of mine here at work, but it don't seem to be taking.

If you want to hear a wonderful instrumental version of "In a Sentimental Mood" or "Georgia On My Mind", featuring the virtuosic harp of Katsu Kosaka, PM me and I'll try to mail the mp3 to you... see if that'll work.
