I have always wanted to play a musical instrument but never put the time in. That may be a slight factor in my love for sequenced computer music, the programming relieves my more classical inadequacies.
I received a harmonica as a gift recently and am really excited to learn, although it will probably have to wait until law school is done. I have had several people offer me lessons, so the forecast looks good.
What I want from you is your best harmonica based tracks. I will start it off with Led Zep.
Piggybacking Deadmandeadman's recent spat of Sonic Youth live posts with this one off the Dirty Boots maxi single that featured a bunch of live tracks. Noticeably it is a pretty good recording compared to other SY live/bootlegs that I have heard. I wonder if at this time when grunge was blowing up and Geffen was falling all over the "godfathers of grunge" if some type of live album was not in the mix for a minute or two? Pure speculation. Enjoy...

LUVIT. i've put the rest of my Sonic Youth $0.02 in dmdm's other post but i had to just break my silence again to say that this track really does blow my mind. great choice, Amiel.
I heard this track tonight on WWOZ and it lit up my evening. Everything about this is fantastic, the funk, the slightly odd vocal and most of all the fact that I had never heard it before! If anyone wants to vouch for Jack McDuff and tell me where to find more of this, please chime in.

Led Zeppelin do a good job imitating a Sonny Boy Williamson II recording, without giving him any composer credits.
Here's one you might like, but you'll need a harmonica like the one Stevie Wonder plays, a chromatic one. This is John Sebastian (father of the Lovin' Spoonful's leader John Sebastian) playing "Sonata in A Minor for Solo Flute; 1. Allemande (Frisch und bewegt)" (2:40) from his 1958 Columbia LP John Sebastian Plays Bach.
Oops! I forgot to show the LP cover.
That is very cool. The photo is very godfather BTW.
