We Were Young Once

[Ralphy1]

Harmonicas! I have an assortment of them and listen to many of the best players from the past and present. I really like Annie Raines and was going to go to Boston to take lessons with her but age caught up with me. I wanted to learn how to bend notes and play the blues...

Ralphy, next time I play the blues on my piano, I will dedicate it to you.

 

[Ralphy1]

Thanks, not being able to play the blues has been my only shortcoming...

I have an old Swan 10-hole that gets the job done. My dearly departed dad taught me how to play and then I formed my own style. I mostly play Country music.

I got my first harmonica during the war and it was made out of plastic...

I have a Hohner Chromatic with a push slide that gives the full range. Had to give it up when I got my dentures.

Thanks, Annie. She brought me every good thing in life and was the best thing in it. I thank you for sharing your happy time.
