Be careful! Piano Man is a gateway song. Oh Susanna, it could lead you down country roads, or give you a ride in a low rider. Or take the Blackfoot train. You can lean on me if you need to. If you have the Will you can be a freebird. Whatever you do, don’t lose your harmonica because without it there ain’t no sunshine.
@jeffw OMG :25-:40 is my new favorite movie clip of all time! GUARANTEEEE I’m gonna find a way to work that into some YouTube lesson at some point! ROFL!!!
Every time I see there’s been a new post in the “Harmonica Humor” thread I always get excited! Thanks for starting it @dm1usnret. Laughter does good like a medicine.
Nice! Yes indeed. My dog howls like CRAZY any time I play harp at all…EXCEPT, I just discovered, I can walk him and play at the same time and he does just fine! GOOD TO KNOW. I’ve been taking the advice of Joe Filisko, Corky Siegel, and others that walking and playing is a great way to develop better time, and I’ve been LOVING it.
Now, bonus, my dog Ozzy get’s to have a walk at the same time! (Yes, my dog’s name REALLY is Ozzy! )
A few weeks ago when I was with uncle, he told me he always wanted to be able to walk up and down the street while playing the harmonica. I think he was ahead of his time.
Walking while playing the harmonica is great exercise and practice at the same time, though it may change the state of others along the way.
Bonus time for my dog, Foxy. I like to go without my phone, so it’s just me, my harp, and my dog…
That sounds like a great title for a Country song:
Thank you so much for posting this. This may be my favorite thread in the forum. I still giggle abashedly sometimes thinking about the Billy Joel/Darth Vader comparison, lol. So messed up…
