My interview with Bill Henderson is now online. In this interview I talk about and play examples of the early innovators of blues harmonica (De Ford Bailey, John Lee Williamson, Little Walter, Big Walter Horton, Rice Miller and George Harmonica Smith), as well as the important players that came after them (James Cotton, Junior Wells, Paul Butterfield, Charlie Musselwhite, Rick Estrin, Kim Wilson, William Clarke, Rod Piazza, Mark Hummel, Gary Smith, Howard Levy and Carlos Del Junco to name but a few). I also talk about why traditional blues harmonica players tend to not use the technique of overbending. It was an enjoyable interview and he allowed me to ramble on, so there's tons of harmonica content! I hope you enjoy it... it was a fun time.
