Sweet Goodbyes and Hellos

-



 Not in some tiresome puffing
Wind all spent ere long
Agile the tongue
With sweet single note joy.
Slurring dynamics
For song.
Song the conveyor of happy.
Song the uplifter of mood.
Hands boxed and
Windpipe and passage
Amplify well, understood?
Chug if you will
And some slurring.
Bend with a bluesy accord.
Gifted you come to the Session
Gifted, you must thank the Lord.
Yes Girl, excel in the tandem
Bow to the Strummer's delight
Partners, so keen in the giving
Not just another dull night.
Not just rehearsing the same-old.
Improvise, you'll put it through
Harp shines
And gives us the Glory
Has one much better to do?


Note: I wish Indiara Sfair every success. She is a wonderful inspiration. I marvel always at her delightful wanderings through song, tempo and tireless agility. The Creator looks at her Sessions and smiles...Doug Blair, aspiring busker

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.
