Little Victor with Bob Corritore on harp. 

"This Ole House"

take a listen to William Clarke The Early Years Vol 1 & Vol 2

I stumbled across this artist through a random conversation at a garage sale while I was looking at an Amp for sale. 

Many others may know of this Canadian artist who has played on the Grand Ole Opry stage a few hundred times according to his bio. 

I was fascinated with the accompaniment playing as I watched numerous YouTube videos of him.

I thought I would post a link to this band that plays at my local club. As new harp players it can be very challenging to get up on the stage and play, but I think quite often the people at local clubs are the most inviting and helpfull people to get to know on this journey playing and having fun learning the harmonica. 

Meeting and playing with these people is what thoroughly makes it fun.
