One of my favorite diatonic players (and really I don't have many )
Here's the latest
Thank you for the well wishes Scotty. I'm getting a lot of experience with birthdays so maybe some year I'll get good at having them. I got my replies kinda mixed up yesterday, substituting Huntington Harmonicollege with Buckeye, then combining them with Danny's. I need to turn off Family Feud when I go public with my ramblings. Like now. LOL. Those biscuit recipes on TV look so good. YummmPaul, please go to Buckeye. The drive is easy and you will see some beautiful country as well as a beautiful city. Not to mention the fun we will have puffing and tooting. I've got to get me some biscuits like they just baked on TV. Sandy is indeed going to make the treck with me, likely taking some sewing projects to keep her hands busy. I cannot convince her to learn to play a harmonica but she does make great music with her needles. Lockjaw Larry Heading to the Kitchen now.

(oh, it's only Sandy's sewing needles.)I should bring my knitting --we'd make a fine pair, although I still haven't yet figured out how to play harmonica and knit at the same time.I've posted a suggestion to Paul on his facebook page about Buckeye, so let's hope he sees it. If I can now get past this infernal cough --Imight be able to make my plans!Elizabeth (scotty)

Maybe --IF there's a way to figure out where we can 'cross paths', we could connect up to at least do half the trip? - but I suspect going directly to Ohio from Maryland takes you on a shorter route than ours from LI to Columbus. Nevertheless, IF you do decide to come upthrough Delaware, New Jersey, etc --we could maybe work something out? We have time to figure it out .---Or HERE's a thought --if your wife doesn't want to go and wants to instead visit her folks in NY - we could pick you up and drop you off there? Remotely possible? We'd have tons of room in our vehicle even with all my gear, lol. Elizabeth (scotty)

Seven hours isn't going to kill me. Gosh....I often think about how Danny just gets up at his age and will drive to the moon and back without blinking!!

Hi,Elizabeth yeah-I like 'Hep Cats'. I think the reasoning is at Danny G's party last July; Wally;George; and I were jamming and the most known music to play are Harmonicat arrangements and thats what Marv would like me to play. This is my first time headlining; so I'm both excited and a little nervous. But I don't want to play the same songs everyone else does when they play 'Cats tunes. I want to do some songs no one else thought of. No 'Peg' although its a good song, just a little overplayed. This ought to be fun and interesting! And if I read correctly-you'll be there? Looking forward to meeting you!!
I think AJ has a special chord harmonica that "just for old times sake" needs to play Peg every now and then.And yes Scotty, Alex (AJ) is the young man you're thinking of.
Yeah, we're talkin' bout the "snot-nosed A.J." as opposed to the "old fart A.J" what runs the forum, right? I'm definitely no chord player but FWIW, I also have a chord that I pick up every now and then just to see if I can still play the silly thing a little. I dug it out (along with my bass) the other day (after my looper arrived)

It'll be cool to get to see and hear him play Live.Elizabeth (scotty)

It'll be cool to get to see and hear him play Live.Elizabeth (scotty)It is NOT "THE CHORD" but definitely one of the first chords of the same era. Ingraved covers.... early thin combs. It is the chord used to possibly record "Diane" on the 78 RPM Cut. Listen close you will hear a inverted "C" chord, which my chord has.Still a early AL chord, very pretty instrument.Scotty, I don't know if you know or not but i believe Danny is referencing my "Al Fiore" chord, which was the model used to record Peg in 1947 I did NOT know that- so thanks for cluing me in! - Wow, so how can you not then play Peg using it? I understand that you perceive it as not a good opening number --so don't open with it --but if you're doing at least a couple of songs, then maybe fit 'some of' Peg into a medley? It would be immensely cool IF one of you then stepped forward to explain what you've just did: that this was 'THE' chord played by Al Fiore and used to record that song, I can assure you that a Buckeye audience would be thrilled!Elizabeth (scotty)
