Re: [Harp-L] Charlie Winston-Like a Hobo.WHAT KIND OF HARMONICA IS THAT?

["Ronald Tuffel" <ronnyt@xxxxx>]

   I just interviewed Benjamin "Ben Henry" Edwards of the Charlie Winston 
Band. The link that you posted did not bear fruit. But, I assume you are 
referring to the video "Like a Hobo" which takes place on a roof top. Ben 
Henry is an amazing young talent. He studied under Brendam Powers as part of 
his degree in university. He is playing a black  HohnerCX-12 which has the 
Brendan Powers mode done by Brendan Powers, himself. Ben Henry directed me 
to
Greg Huemann from Blows Me Away who happens to be another one of the "Harp 
World Gods" like Chuck Gurney, Sonny Jr. just to name a few of the gentleman 
that display their genuis in producing technical magic. Ben Henry is 
predictably one of the new rising stars of harmonica with a degree in 
Popular Music, with gurus like Brendan Powers, Dave Barrett, and Jason 
Ricci. He plays the SJ 410 masterfully. Uses mics by Huemann. He is an 
accomplished percussionist with true background and depth. A wonderful 
dulcimer player. And, has some wonderful chops and he is an insightful 
harmonica player. Playing those altered CX-12's and he likes to play 
diatonics as well. We sat around before his sold out gig in Luxembourg after 
the interview and he is the most genuine, interested in harp and the harp 
world, enthusiastic young harp player that I have run accross in a long 
time. We played awhile where we traded licks and ideas, and this kid is 
loaded, talented, and gifted.Our interview can be heard on Tuesday, May 12, 
2009 at 17:00 - 18:30 hrs. on "Tuesday Bistro" Radio ARA 103.3 or 105.2 FM , 
Luxembourg a multilingual station. On "Bistro" I cover local music events, 
concerts, free music, cultural events, interviews, etc. This interview is a 
rather short, but fun introduction to Benjamin "Ben Henry" Edwards as an 
emerging entity in the HarpWorld. Also, a brief interview with Charlie 
Winston and his take on harmonica in his music and his song writing. Charlie 
Winston is also an amazingly talented young singer, song writer, and 
performer. I went to do the interview at around 17:00 hrs. in the early 
evening and didn't leave to go home until 2:30 a.m. The two young men were 
captivating to say the least. But, the entire band, management, and 
technical team were warm, open, acomodating, and family like. It was a 
wonderful experience. The program can be streamed by going to www.ara.lu 
"Livestream" and clicking on your preferred speed. I always go to the 
alternative link for you if you are having trouble gaining access by the 
traditional means. But, the alternative link goes to a German version which 
is not difficult to follow, but might be a little different if you are not 
used to reading German. The site of Radio ARA is not totally in English just 
as a warning, so use your linguistic balance to navigate yourself through. 
Give yourself a bit of time to find it. And, if the programing is not in 
English when you are finding the site, don't panic my program will be in 
good ole American English! Remember to adjust to the correct time zone and 
changes if you do not live in Central Europe.

Hope ya'll get a chance to listen!
