Harmonica Humor

Excellent on the bag pipes
Very Canadian.

I got so annoyed having to see the ubiquitous Taylor Swift at the Superbowl, but this post made me smile. Thought y’all might enjoy it.

[Clutha]

Classic.

QUESTION How do you know it’s a new harmonica player at the studio door?

ANSWER He/She can’t find the key and doesn’t know when to come in.

Ode to my Organ

What is this?

Some may laugh and others may snicker,
But my organ is incredible, of that none can bicker.

I walk around with it in my mouth all day,
To the delight of some and to others dismay.

Some may think it rather small,
But with it, I truly have a ball!

I take it with me wherever I go,
And seek to play it like a pro.

I keep it at always at hand,
Ready to join the band.

Then when I put it in its case,
I hold it firmly by the base.

Others may play with it now and then,
But it is my very own special friend.

Love this! There’s nothing like a good dose of harmonica humor to lighten the mood. Speaking of puns, have you heard about the harmonica player who always played in the key of life? He really knew how to blow away the stress! If you’re ever in need of more funny puns, I found some great ones at a trusted website https://allfunnypuns.com/. Thanks for sharing this—it definitely made me smile.

I bought a T-shirt with a picture of a harmonica on and the words Blow me above and below. My Wife doesn’t like it at all. She says it’s smutty, I just thought it was hilarious

[chris3]

You are both correct

posted this in a separate thread before I realized this one existed

@yuriythebest

Just eat garlic and then play…

Nobody wants that harp anymore!

[yuriythebest]

haha that’s a good one also! For context (since worldwide packages may differ), the above featured a can of “Sprats” ( oily fish with a distinct scent)

[Dk360]

@yuriythebest

I thought that was chewing tobacco. Fish works too!

[yuriythebest]

That you DON’T need to tense every single face muscle to get the bend -
This is something I’m still internalizing

[yuriythebest]

This is more of a “personal anecdote”

Just recently I’ve been focusing more on rhythm / playing “in sync” with the backing track.
While I was trying this, my Special 20 began to get all soggy/ began to get stuck reeds and this was the first time I actually had to disassemble it to make it work properly again .Previously I had saliva issues when I first started playing and my seydel session would constantly get “clogged/stuck”, but that was a long time ago now .

Well, I realized what was going on. Seems, so much of my brainpower was going to this new “rhythm” thing that I once again began playing with bad technique - like I can’t juggle those 2 things at once quite yet. When I listen to the recordings, the sound is just awful as well - but at least it has better rhythm.

Teacher: You can’t just use random skateboard photos to describe harmonica techniques
Me:

[toogdog]

I don’t understand

[Dk360]

@yuriythebest @toogdog

The skateboard looks like your tongue while bending…

[yuriythebest]

Hi all. I am in the above picture. Most videos on youtube talk about the “techniques” in regards to playing notes, but this is the other “50%”. I admit I have a problem and am now working on it.

This is EXCELLENT!!
