G'day, i'm wondering if anyone here has experience with playing from the transcriptions in this book. I've seen it in the background of some of the videos here. It has good reviews on Amazon, but i get the impression those reviews are from people who haven't actually used the book, i.e. they are super impressed with what it purports to be, but haven't played anything from it.

So I'm at the jam and when I pick up my C harp (the second time in the set), the 1 hole is jammed!! No sound draw or blow. Luckily I packed a spare harp, picked it up and finished. Got home and took the covers off, 'plucked' the reeds on the 1 hole and then when I tried it again, no sound. Looked more carefully and found a hair stuck in the draw reed. After I carefully took it out, all was well again. continue reading...

David suggests that we all do a six-month tour of learning the drums, guitar, and base, just so we know how to communicate with the band. I say, we should all do a six-month tour of what good blues dancing is, even if it's lecture and demonstration. continue reading...

Just wanted to share this: At our Sunday jam yesterday, I decide to bite the bullet and said I'd take the vocals for the first song in the set. Followed the steps from David's Performance Training (had a head start at the Masterclass weekend) and it worked perfectly!!! continue reading...

I think this is a must learn song.....

I finally got through the entire Tom Ball interview and really enjoyed it. Great stuff David! The first harp instructional book I ever bought was Tom's Sonny Terry book. I missed a chance to see him and Kenny play up in the hills outside of Santa Barbara many years back and still kick myself for not going.
