Re: [Harp-L] harmonetta/Bob Herndon

[David Payne <dmatthew@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I checked out the link and saw his pic. That's him. He made this deal about going from the most complex to least complex harmonicas, switched from the Harmonetta to a daggone 4-hole Little Lady. He played some standard tune on it, I can't remember what. He had the microphone in one hand, held the Little with the other hand. Then, about the middle of the song, he kept the microphone in the one hand, but put his other hand in his pocket, leaving the Little Lady in the mouth and he kept on playing U-block. It was hilarious.

I'm sure that would be Bob Herndon playing Harmonetta with Jim Lohman.  Bob has a website from which he sells his albums from the 50s, 60s and 70s....check it out http://www.bobherndon.com/  (no claim to being Harmonetta exclusive though)
