My mom and dad both have
harmonicas in both played the harmonicas every once in a while which
is kind of too bad.(Just a note clarification whenever I reference
mom and dad I will be speaking of my adoptive parents – – who I
consider my mom and dad. I'm not sure how the revelatory parents who
be identified but I figure that out if and when the time comes). It's
not like it whipped out their mouth organs every night after dinner
but a couple of times a year they would play. My dad played better
than my mom cooked mom is not too bad. I don't think she always
played probably picked the mouth harp up after they got married. She
had a pretty nice instrument can do whatever happened to after she
died. I don't know if anybody is the family that plays the harmonica
except me. Same with dad, I kind of would like to know what happened
to his harmonicas as well. At one time I have two or a C harp and the
G harp and I also had a chromonica, which I thought was really cool
but I never really played the instrument that well. The truth of the
matter is that I never really played any of my harmonicas as well as
I would've liked. I like to play parts of summer's specially folk
type songs from the 60s.Leaving On A Jet Plane, Oblidi Oblada, and
other Beatles tunes. I played generally from my own consumption,
however one time in McCall or Sun Valley,IdahoI was at a bar in the
middle of summer at some festival And there was this customer contest
which I entered to play harmonica. All I remember was exhaling that
first note and everything went black – – passout. That was the
end of any public display of any musical talent I may have ever had.
I don't know why but
recently I've been getting the bug to sit down and once and for all
learn a couple songs correctly for the harmonica. I have one very old
instruments I've had for I don't how long I've been carrying a piece
around and every once I will take the piece out and blow a few
notes. Over the weekend I did this again and talk to myself 'why
don't I just get another harmonica, brand-new and try again?'I did a
search and sure enough there is an actual music store in the same
little mall that my movie theater is located.
I just of us this
afternoon spent a good hour and a half inside the music store (which
is a huge music store). The place has everything keyboards, she's
little piano type things, drums and lots of guitars. They even have
cute little rooms where people can take instruction that I saw any
such people doing that but you could. I wonder if they have harmonica
instructors. Boy, that would be a commitment. I found a cute little
harmonica for 10 bucks! The harmonic is called “the Silver Creek”
“Black Gold”. What a deal! So I purchased the instruments and
finally made it home and got the harmonica out its plastic container.
I used a pair of scissors and 15 minutes to get inside. I played a
couple tunes and congratulated myself, I kind of said goodbye to the
other harmonica and downloaded a couple of Pieces of music that have
been “tabbed” for harmonica. I'm kind of excited. Maybe somewhere
my folks Well hear me play and know they are not forgotten.
