I think the critical harmonica mistake is to assume that the recording industry is any indication of the music that is going on in this country. When the harmonica first started to become popular, there was no recording industry. The health of our instrument depends on our boots on the ground. Letting people hear you. Here's on example from last night, the Huntington West Virginia harmonica club. The people who were at the Gino's pub to listen absolutely loved it. This is the kind of thing they did in the 1920s to make it popular and the kind of thing we can do now:
