Don't know if this has already been posted, but Richard Hunter already has something like this on his web site.

  I have a cool idea...

  It would be nice if someone with writing skills could write a monthly 
  column entitled "Ten questions with..."

  Each column with be a short interview with a famous harmonica player 
  answering a set of ten questions.

  Simple to do, each prospective harmonica interviewer would receive via 
  email or snail mail his ten questions.

  Some of the questions can be the same for each (like "what inspired you 
  to play the harmonica" or "what is your next project) and the rest of 
  the questions would be unique to the artist.

  Using the template of preset questions and unique questions, the actual 
  interview (conducted in a short phone call or via emailed responses), 
  the actual time to do the entire process would be, perhaps, one hour 
  (contacting a potential harmonica player, writing a few questions, 
  conducting the short interview and editing).

  Eventually, it would make a nice book of compiled Harmonica Interviews 
  (Interview with a Harmonica Player..")

  I know there are other incredible books out there, for example kim 
  field's comprehensive book, plus there is an encyclopedia as well, I 
  believe).  But this would serve as an addendum and update, the ten 
  questions are very versatile, totally personal and fun.

  it also can showcase and focus on other new harmonica players, too 
  young or not "famous" enough to be in the other books (like Jason R, 
  Michael Peloquin, Iceman or Chris Michalek, AJ., etc who have lots of 
  excellent music and information to share. It can also focus on a lot of 
  the incredible international harmonica players I have heard from other 
  countries other than the USA like sebastian krys, antonio serrano and 
  Greg Szlapczynski, laurent maur, Olivier Ker Ourio, Sebastian Charlier 
  and others.

  Plus, it would feature a lot of the words of our older harmonica 
  players as they make their lasting reflections on life.

  Just an idea, I would do it but if I could write like Winslow and 
  Kim!!! Much respect to these guys.

  Ten questions investment- one hour or so.
  Effect it will have--priceless!

  Any takers?

  best,

  randy singer

  ps

  has anyone published a bibliography of all harmonica oriented books?
