In the early 80’s my wife dared me to do a single. I got a gig at a comedy club warming up the audience an hour before the comics. Jacky the Joke Man who used to be a regular with Howard Stern commented I must have the biggest… Well I don’t but I must tell you using a Roland drum machine and playing melodies on chromatic and diatonic for an hour during dinner was quite an experience.

25 years later I’m doing it again. What am I crazy? Maybe. But my busy travel schedule etc.etc.etc. like most people makes it very difficult to get a band together and rehearse. So I’m going it alone again. I know its harmonica Karaoke but I get to play what I want when I want and for whom I want and that’s a neat deal. I’ve warmed up the act in nursing homes and health care facilities and it always brings a tremendous amount of satisfaction. That I will continue to do as well as private parties, Brunches and what ever else I can fit in my schedule. Two years ago I spent a 5 days with Robert Bonfiglio (a fabulous experience) and decided to make this harmonica thing work for me, and those around me. Touching people with our music is a wonderful gift. This is the way I’ll be doing it for now.

BTW…I rarely post but I felt this was worth sharing. If you are curious you can visit me here http://www.radialarts.com/harp.html or on youtube http://www.youtube.com/user/radialarts

Till next time
Bob Hennessy
