Some Delightful Country/Gospel (not even a lick of harmonica...but couldabeen)

Jessy Dixon and Gaither Bunch
Look at that crowd...Buddy Greene, Janet Paschal, Larnelle Harris, Wintley Phipps, Russ Taff, David Phelps. Trumpets, keyboard, harmonica. All in agreement, sweetly tuned.



A Passing

 I heard late 
about her husband's passing
wrote a letter best as I could. 
spoke of happy times in summer
campfires, chapel bell midst wood.
she sang well, and he would
preach the Gospel.
kids could catch
the gist of what he meant. (Matthew 25)
Toastmaster, as I knew him
through the seasons
helped me much
and to my journey lent.
But he died, his 
passage surely skyward.
and with Joyful End.
Grand Reunion comes
of that he taught so clearly.
and the widow kept my simple letter
shown to friends.

(Evelyn and John Halcrow...London YMCA)

Port Protection Series on Geographic Channel. Exhilarating.

A fascinating National Geographic series. Very small village on Alaska Island without roads. Only about 95 residents who love the wilderness and the various assignments of mink trapping tree felling clam picking halibut hauling octopus grabbing deer shooting plank trimming garden land clearing northern lights gazing etc. They realize the fullest meaning and worth of community. For example one guy hauls in halibut at 110 pounds. Couple of good meals for 15 families, He says. Fascinating to watch successive episodes.

This will help get you going young man. Have fun. Believe that undoubtedly you are getting the techniques. And pleasing some listeners. Behave with as much relaxed and smiling professionalism as you can muster. People will give you lots of credit. Oh yeah, they will. Now listen to this goal and example with a harp. Her name is Indiara Sfair. She is from Brazil. Not bad to look at either. Definitely she appears to enjoy what she does. And she plays well with other expert musicians/singers. Consider also how she uses her cupped hands. Sort of a sounding box. Or visit the Harmonica Barge. Robert Service poem https://internetpoem.com/robert-service/the-song-of-the-mout-poem/ Adam Gussow, good teaching, bluesy stuff. “Sloppy” stye is needed. Christmas tune And let us finish fancy with Buddy Greene. Incomparable.
