No one who  cares  about harmonica should miss this release.      

Thanks, Richard.  I'll go to Madcat's site now.  Tho not  harp  related, have 
u seen the mind blowing, jaw dropping performance  of the young  guy, Jake 
Shimabukuro in NYC's Central Park, playing  While My Guitar Gently  Weeps on 
ukulele?
Simply amazing and a must  see, imo.  U should  be able to view it at this 
site:   http://www.collegehumor.com/movies/159572/

.....and I have absolutely fallen in love with Jake Shimabukuro's playing  in 
this video.  It's just gorgeous.  Thank you so much for posting  this!  He 
didn't need anything more than the Central Park greenery behind  him, his 
adorable self (he is too cute!) and his  amazing musicianship on the ukelele (I've 
never heard one sound like that  before).  My only question is if you know if 
he's still "only a college  student"?  I went to his website and he has at 
least four albums out...and  seems to be quite the toast of Hawaii.  Fabulous 
discovery! Thanks  again.
