[Harp-L] SPAH, Area 51, and the Harmonica Band Reboot

[Winslow Yerxa <winslowyerxa@xxxxxxxxx>]

Every wonder what it would be like to play blues or jug band music, or hot-club jazz with bass and chord harmonica?

Nowâs your chand the Harmonance.Â

Bass and chord harmonica are usually seen in the context of Harmonicats-type material, which is great but not what every harmonica player wants to play.

Why not reboot the harmonica band to play the music that's closer to what YOU want to play? To be sure, it wonât sound like a guitar or a jazz trio or a rock band, but itâll be different, and itâll be fun.

At SPAH51, weâre going to organize forums for bass and chord harmonicas to jam and interact with whoever wants to participate. Details will be available at the convention, though weâll also create an exchange in advance so that folks will have tunes in common to play.

Please let me know if youâre interested in participating. winslowyerxa-at-yahoo.com
