I wrote to Parga Music and asked about the harmonica concerto which was mentioned in earlier posts. Here is the (paper mail) reply I received in full...

John Sebastion was a world renowned classical harmonicist. He passed away a number of years ago. He was the father of the John Sebastian we know from his harmonica work on the TV series "Welcome Back Kotter" and the group, "Lovin' Spoonful". He recently came out with a blues harp instructional video (from Homespun Tapes). I have not yet ordered the concerto but plan to. I could probably never play it, but may tackle parts of it. - 20 bucks seems very reasonable. +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Jack N. Ely, Operations Mgr.
