    If you ever wondered what a mixer was good for, I wrote an article about them from a harmonica player's perspective. See Gear Lust immediately below.

    The 6th jam www.OnlineJam.org ended July 2005. The music was as good as any I have ever heard anywhere. To commemorate the event, we created an online collection of the Best from Jam VI. We also created a sort of kit so you can download and burn your own CD's complete with artwork.

    Are you ready for industrial, post-punk harmonica?
    >

  • Up All Night by Dennis Gruenling - Rick Beall 8/30/03
    Harmonica riffs like molten gold poured into every song recreate and extend George "Harmonica" Smith, Sonny Boy Williamson II, Little Walter in new ways.
    >

  • Blues Approved by Schmidt and Scott - Rick Beall 8/26/03
    The harp returns with all the subtlety of a burgler making a mistep in your attic and ending up in your living room. Could a harp player ask for more?
    >

  • The Nashville Sessions - Rick Beall 8/24/03
    With nine guitars, two harmonicas, and one hammond organ, this CD by the Blues All Stars is better than cornbread with the butter built in.

    How would you describe a song where Beethoven goes out drinking with Little Walter?
    >

  • Michael Peloquin -- House of Cards - Rick Beall 6/28/03
    There is a horn blast, then the harp plays a riff with a tone as thick as a tree trunk. The guitar plays like lightening in the sky. You can't argue with a guy who mixes horns and harp!
    >

  • Carlos del Junco --Just Your Fool - Rick Beall 6/28/03
    A syncopated Seance with Little Walter, Robert Johnson, Howling Wolf, ... and all I can say is, And So Much More

  • Book Review of "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Playing the Harmonica" - Rick Beall 7/23/02
    This book should give the beginner the skills necessary to play diatonic harmonica with authority, and give him the musical skills and concepts necessary to play with other musicians as an equal.
    >

  • Book Review of Jon Gindick's "Rock n' Blues Harmonica" - Rick Beall 7/23/02
