Magic Dick & Lee Oskar must be commended for really bringing Harmonica to
the forefront during the Rock-Pop music scene of the 70' & 80's. They used
the instrument brilliantly whether  you care for the music, the songs. or
not. If you were playing Diatonic during this period, you HAD to be affected
by what they were doing.

    Their musicianship was impeccable and in perfect context with the
records they made. Both Players were SO good they commanded an integral
'chair' in each Band utilizing Harmonica as a LEAD and ENSEMBLE instrument
played with skillfull dynamics. I learned volumes about our instrument and
MUSIC via these two pioneers and I thank them.

Harpfully,
Rob Paparozzi
