+RAF_Louvert Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 . Here's one for those who might mistake the harmonica for a lowly instrument: While Buddy Greene may not be quite in the same class as Sonny Boy Williamson, Mark Feltham, or Junior Wells, (IMHO), he is definitely way up near the top. Watching that vid has inspired me to go dig out my old Hohner. Cheers! Lou . Quote

Ras Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 Absolutely AMAZING. The last song (which I can't remember the name) would be nice background music on an attack and retreat. Quote
NS13Jarhead Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 Absolutely AMAZING. The last song (which I can't remember the name) would be nice background music on an attack and retreat. The William Tell Overture, by Rossini. It was used as the theme song for the Lone Ranger TV and movie series Quote
rabu Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 This guy demonstrates virtuosity and dexterity with an instrument that normally is associated with the blues and folk music and it's pretty amazing he can get that sound out of such a small instrument. Many composers have actually composed pieces for harmonica and it's amazing how many compositions have been transcribed for harmonica. Heitor Villa Lobos (1887-1959) wrote a Harmonica Concerto in his later years, about 1950, and it's pretty incredible. I have a CD recording on the RCA Victor label of it with Robert Bonfiglio playing with the the New York Chamber Symphony, Gerard Schwarz conducting. If any of you are interested in this type of mucic, on a more serious level, this is worth getting.. really beautifully done. Quote
