I'll be there ! ! !
I'm from Ann Arbor, Michigan.
I play mostly diatonic (plus a bit of chromatic).
I mostly play Folk, Blues, American Roots Music, Rock & Roll, Jazz, Country, Bluegrass, Standards, World Music , etc...
I've been playing harmonica since 1964.
I've been playing professionally since 1970.
On Wednesday I will be leading a seminar along with Joe Filisko called "Sonny Terry: Steam Trains and Fox Chases".
On Thursday I will be leading a seminar called "Playing Harmonica on a Rack". That seminar will also include Cynthia Dusel-Bacon, Enrico Granafei, Jimi Lee, Marv Monroe, Michael Kovick, Richard Sleigh and Vern Smith.
I will also be one of the techers at Joe Filisko's Teach-in.
And I have a mainstage slot on the Friday Night program.
I haven't been to a SPAH convention for several years, so I'm really looking forward to immersing myself in the whole SPAH experience once again.
