Just goes to show...

You needn't have the money for a full set of customized Crossovers, an expensive custom mic, and a MegaTone amp to make music!

It appears it also helps to be somewhat deranged.

Nice one, Dave!

William Clarke is one of my biggest favorites.

This is from the "Alligator Record Release Party DVD". William Clarke calls up Alex Schultz and Bill Stuve from the audience on this one, and the band takes off into next gear! A great DVD !!

I've got a couple of live Youtube videos playing a combination of Celtic, Scandinavian, and jazz tunes in duets with violinist Tuula Tossavainen:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsJkRcwZkCw

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dts-FSErTCY

The second one is from the Jazz Harmonica Summit last August, which features performances by several other harmonica players, which will eventually be released on DVD.

Slim Heilpern and Penny Hanna - harmonica, guitar, bass and vocals - by just two people:

Is the harmonica part easy? It sounds doable.

His vocals are pretty darned ok also, IMHO.

These are a couple of my all time favorites!

Jason Ricci and Walter Trout:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_JvKci-uZ0&list=FLGVv40iHy9p8Yqj7sDWROmg...

I love the way Walter reacts while Jason's playing!! Still gives me goosebumps every time

Paul Oscher:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fi9D41mRskg&list=FLGVv40iHy9p8Yqj7sDWROmg...

This video actually inspired me to get ahold of a SWAN bass harp just to play this song!! I really like how Paul uses the throat mic for amplification, anyone recognize or know where to find that mic?!
