Re: Stupid Human Tricks

OK - that was Chris Clarke of Detroit, who was actually mimicing the 
famed harmonica artist
from Canada, the late great Bernie Bray.  Bernie was a long-time member 
of SPAH - a
classical chromatic artist who enjoyed having fun with the instrument, 
serious as he was
about his music.  Played with various symphonies across Canada, later 
settled in Toronto.
Played lots of SPAH conventions thru the years, and will be remembered 
by the older
members.

Old friends of Bernie and wife Jean,
Danny & Lorraine
