[Harp-L] New Year, New Harmonica Instrumental

[robert mcgraw]

I liked this a lot, Slim. Very interesting changes, funky...reminds me a bit of Steely Dan maybe? Of course the guitar playing and the bass playing are good, but the harmonica playing is, as usual, superb. You are a wonderful player with a distinctive voice on the instrument. My compliments!

Hello and Happy New Year to all my harp-l friends!

>From today’s newsletter:

Putting all the depressing and disappointing issues of the day to the side, Penny and I had a wonderful 2018, enjoying both work and play (sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference!) as we celebrate 45 years of partnership. It has been and continues to be a sweet ride and for that we are eternally grateful for our luck in life.

As per our usual routine, we’re back in the project studio this winter and have just completed one of the tunes we’ve been working on. I wrote this harmonica instrumental on the occasion of my 64th birthday but was having difficulty coming up with the title so Penny suggested calling it “64” which (if I remember correctly from Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy) is _not_ the answer to life, the universe, and everything. But neither is this difficult-to-categorize tune (misses the mark by exactly 22), so yeah, perfect title.

Here’s to a new year where humankind will hopefully solve at least a few of the difficult problems ahead, and wishing you all a healthy, happy, and productive 2019!
