The Group with Harmonicas

-



Seniors’ Rec. Centre, Kitchener. 

Fred with the heavy 
German accent. 
As much as invited me 
To show up. 
Make sure to bring 
Keys of C and G harps 
Yah? 
And so I did. 
About 8 or 9 in a circle. 
Fran on piano setting tempo 
And intro tune reminders. 
Matthew brings his 
Button accordion, self taught. 
Nice chugging base chords. 
And one of his own waltzes. 
Guenther is the president 
Plays classic Seydel models. 
The definitive Amazing Grace. 
Phil and Rick pop in 
Whenever, with Bayou Blues. 
Trudy insists that we get 
Ashoken Farewell ready 
US Civil War lament. 
For performance 
For some venue. 
Also perhaps Oh Danny Boy. 
And I Come to the Garden. 
We are all having fun 
Becoming friends with 
a common interest or two. 
Thank you Fred. 
Oh ya, ya, ya.

About this poem

In truth I am communing with this bunch, and having a blast. Toned down, of course, for the blood pressure. http://puffnchord7.blogspot.com/

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.

Harp lesson for young Dante, age eleven.

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.
