Beautiful. Not only are you a damn fine neighbor, but your connection with the harmonica warms me inside. I wish I had a connection with an instrument like that! And I’ll say you were “warmed up” pretty good at the very last bit of the video!
It do funny because for years… decades, really, I’ve tried playing other instruments — guitar, banjo, violin, bass… even bagpipes — because the harmonica was too pedestrian. People made fun of me for playing a kid’s toy and I thought it was because I learned to play it when I was a kid. But then I tripped into an entire community of harmonica players who were going amazing things! So, I got to thinking all those people making fun of me were wrong! Harmonica is easy to learn, *really* hard to play… anyway… thank you. I still need to get way, way better!
You play damn well, as it is, but the best always want to get better; it is something they always strive for. Thanks for replying. I’m feeling a little motivated over here!

Combined with your reference to Jeff Buckley, the sheer sadness was only softened by your gentle words. Lovely
Your harmonica playing is awesome. I really like the written post too.
Awesome!!!!! Lmk when you do, we’ll jam! Gotta warn ya, though… harmonicas are like camera lenses… you’ll always need just one more 😉
