Hooray, Canada Day.

Passtime with harps, meeting the people, happily. Agreeing with them in song. And the kids stop and wonder. Give me the thumbs up.

My little website keeps me moving forward. Learning. Enjoying. Knowing that I am past the stage of performing like some goofball. Getting the hang of it. Some muscle memory and instinct. Greater breath control and timing. Even the bending is coming along. Cupped hand finesse.

Printing the names of new friends and encounters on my little folding chair. Remembering them and lifting them up.

But the stuff of Buddy Greene, Indiara Sfair, Grandpa Elliot, Lou Adler, Neil Young, Bob Dylan? Still way down the Road

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.

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.
