The Best Li'l Harp House, Mel Bay Publications and the Harmonica 
Masterclass Co
are pleased to announce a Harmonica Masterclass Soloing Workshop
to be held at the Days Inn Bordentown

This workshop location is full (Email 
registration@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx to be placed
on a wait list)

Class Info:
Instruction will be eight hours each day with a focused jam Saturday 
night with a guitarist.
Master instructor David Barrett will lead the class in all the areas 
needed to create great solos
and instrumentals. Since the subject matter is very focused, there is a 
lot of playing in this class.
This has been a life-changing class for those that have participated in 
the past; we guarantee
you will walk out a better soloist. Class is focused towards 
intermediate and advanced players,
though new players are welcome to audit the class.

Class will cover:
- The art of improvising through the use of Chorus Forms and Focus Notes
- Soloing Concepts
- Soloing Themes (Head, Hook, Body, Etc.)
- Song Analysis
- How to learn solos note for note and retaining licks
- The art of accompaniment playing
- Identifying blues standards that students can start working
- How to lead a band
- Critique from David Barrett during class and jam session.

This class has one objective… that each player walks out the door a 
better soloist. This is not
a technique class, we will spend all our time on improvising. Class 
subject matter has been
focused down to just the essentials to leave time for a lot of playing. 
David will speak freely
about areas each student needs to work on to become a better player. 
Class size is limited to
20 participants. If you are looking for details on the larger Harmonica

WORLD HARMONICA FESTIVAL 2005
November 2-6, 2005
Trossingen, GERMANY

Harmonica fans watch out! The Fédération Internationale de l’Harmonica 
(FIH) once again has
the pleasure of inviting you to one of the most important events in the 
harmonica lover's calendar.
Every four years the World Harmonica Festival comes to Trossingen in the 
beautiful Black Forest
region. Soon it will be returning for the fifth time. Alongside concerts 
and seminars, presented by
some of the finest players performing today, the festival will also 
include competitions, sessions
and a varied supporting program. Last but not least, the World Harmonica 
Festival provides the
opportunity to celebrate our unique instrument in the company of 
countless friends both old and new.

Three full length evening concerts in the Dr. Ernst Hohner Concert Hall 
will showcase the entire range of
contemporary harmonica music starting at 8.15 pm from Thursday to Saturday.

Featured harmonica artists:
Adler Trio (Israel)
Kathrin Gass (Germany)
Hermine Duerloo (Holland)
Lars Vegas & The Love Gloves feat. Marko Jovanovic (Germany)
Eddie Martin (GB)
Steven de Bruyn & The Rhythm Junks (Belgium)
Joe Filisko (USA)
David Barrett (USA)
Julian Jackson (GB)
Beata Kossovska & Le Blue (Poland)
Harmonicamento (Germany)
Harmonica Choir Laakirchen (Austria)
Abi Wallenstein & Blues Culture feat. Steve Baker (Germany/Sweden/GB)
Yasuo Watani, Ulrich Müller-Froß, Kings Harmonica Quintet (Japan, Germany)
Marc Breitfelder (Germany)

As at previous festivals in Trossingen, there will be competitions in 
categories featuring the various
different types of harmonica and the most popular musical styles. The 
adjudicators will primarily be
drawn from the ranks of the guest artists, who will also be performing 
in the concerts.

A wide ranging workshop program will cover all aspects of contemporary 
harmonica.

Following the evening concerts, the action moves to the "Kesselhaus", 
the former power station on
the historic Hohner factory site in the center of Trossingen. This is 
the first time that the legendary
"Late Night Sessions", organized by Steve Baker and accompanied by the 
excellent B-Sharp Rhythm
Section, have taken place in this location. The sessions offer all 
comers the opportunity to get up on
stage with a top professional backing band and show what they can do in 
front of an appreciative and
knowledgeable audience. They also offer the possibility of showcasing 
short concert appearances by
artists who cannot be fitted into the evening concerts due to time 
constraints.

The German Harmonica Museum houses the largest collection of harmonica 
models in the world and
will be presenting a special tour dedicated to the history of the 
instrument. The supporting program
also offers a guided tour of the Hohner harmonica production facilities. 
In the Dr. Ernst Hohner Concert
Hall there will also be a selection of stands offering instruments, CDs, 
books and accessories such as
amplifiers and microphones.

Detailed information and registration forms can be found on the festival 
website:

All harmonica fans without internet access can obtain information and 
registration forms directly from the

BIRMINGHAM'S HEART OF THE SOUTH HARMONICA MUSIC FESTIVAL
May 11-13, 2006
Birmingham, AL

Hilton Perimeter Park Hotel
Hwy 280 at I-459

Hotel Reservations:
1-800-Hiltons or 1-800-445-8667
Mention the "Heart of the South Harmonica Music Festival" for reduced 
room rate of
$79 plus tax per night (single/double)
Make your reservations before April 13, 2006

We ARE going to have a harmonica festival in Birmingham, Alabama - 2006!

Over 300 who were involved in the original Birmingham Harmonica Festival 
in 1989.
This to be a great mix of the music of the American South.

- We hope to represent all of these harmonica/music styles.
- Classic "Harmonicats" Stylings
Al and Judy Smith - "The Hotshots"
"The Society Boys"- Shelly Lulov, Tom Scerbo and Phil Caltabellotta
- Nashville Country
Charlie McCoy and his band
- Blue Grass
Buddy Greene of the Gaither Music Reunions
Jerry Ryan of "Three On A String"
Tommy "Toes" Bounds
- Dixieland "New Orleans Style" Jazz
- Cajun
Jerry Devillier from The "RENDEZVOUS DES CAJUN" in Eunice, LA
- Delta Blues
"MadCat and Kane" Peter Ruth and Shari Kane
- Traditional black spiritual
- Southern Gospel
Others have been invited. They will be posted when we know more.

We think the "Southern Music" theme will make what we have planned 
absolutely distinctive from
any past event associated with SPAH. Someone already stated, "It sounds 
like you want religious music."
Our response is simple: “No, but it is very hard to take religion out of 
a Southerner.”
If it is part of who the performer "is", it will not be out of place at 
this festival.

We are gathering good support from some important people in our state. 
Frank "Doc" Adams, the
director of the Birmingham Jazz Hall of Fame has offered the facilities 
of the Carver Theater
in the "Civil Rights District" for some of the Blues and Jazz events.
"Doc" played sax with "Duke" Ellington.
For many years he was a key figure of music in the Birmingham City Schools.

Also, a past member of Harmonicas of Alabama is an Alabama legislator by 
the name of John Rogers.
After 22 years in our state legislature, John is "helping to make this 
thing happen."

If this is interesting to you we really would like to hear from you.
If you know someone who would be interested, please pass this along.
We think this will be a great time and we need your help.

Thanks,
Addison Hitchcock (Director)
