Originally from Philly. Later I lived in various parts of PA and NJ., then high school in MA. After that it was a number of years in Aspen, Snowmass and Boulder Colorado (managed the Boulder Music Centre for awhile in the 80's, for those who remember it - RIP), then 15 years in Tampa, FL. Currently in Boston for the last 7 years or so.
Been around music all my life, but basically just getting started on harp.

Hi all! everyone calls me fingers even my own family! i live in the southwest of England and have been playing Blues harp for over 20 years, i have played with a few different bands over the years one (Cool Disposition) for 7 years but sort of lost my appetite for smokey bars so nothing for 3 years except the odd stand in job! but the draw of the harp is proving to strong hence me joining the forum thanks for reading this and hope to participate more often.

Born and bred in the UK, living in Birmingham on the shores of the sunny Stratford Canal.
Had the bright idea a little while ago to start playing harp just to spice up the instrumental breaks in a ukulele band and now I'm well and truly hooked. I guess I just like playing instruments other people consider toys!

Born in Salisbury, England.
Lived in London and Brighton for some years before deciding to move to Athens, Greece.
I am very lucky to play harp in the shadow of such an ancient monument!
Certainly feels epic...

Got my nickname working in the restaurant business. 30 + years playing harmonica, but still very much a beginner in many ways. I'm attending my first Hill Country Harmonica this year and will be writing a story about it when I get back.

Hi Adam and all my fellow harpers
I'm Jim and I live in Southampton, my home town, down there on the south coast of England. I've been playing the guitar for 32 years, used to play local gigs but haven't performed for a while now. I play electric guitar, acoustic, slide, and my style is a mish-mash of blues, rock, jazz, folk, punk, world music and free improv. I like to mess around on the soprano uke and alto recorder too. I finally took up the blues harp last March after meaning to do it for many years. It was my one & only new year's resolution. I only regret that I didn't do it much, much sooner.

Cool thread, gives me ideas for our harmonica splinter cells taking over the world (that will be a in a separate thread).
I entered this world in Richmond, VA, but moved to Sprendlingen, Germany before I was a year old. I was raised there until I was 4. I still have very fond memories even from such a young age.
Now I live in Petersburg, VA. If you've never heard of Petersburg, just wait until this Fall when Spielberg's movie "Lincoln" comes out, because he is filming it here.

Born in N.Carolina, don't remember it at all. Raised just North of Atlanta, Georgia. Still live North of Atlanta. Played guitar all my life and entertained family for years until I grew long hair and played in bands. Lucky for me, I got to play with some big players. Been playing part time on harp as my second instrument.

Born in DuBois, PA.
Imediately moved to and was raised in Cammal, PA.
In 1983 I moved to Williamsport, PA where I have lived ever since.
I got my 1st harp when I was 12, I think. Played off and on up until last year, when the desire to get good at it overwhelmed me, and I've been hammering at it ever since.
My wife is a wonderfully patient woman. She says it's much more enjoyable to listen to me now. Thanks Hon.

Born in Jersey (UK), and now live between France, London and Jersey.
My first harp was a blues harp bought in Toledo in Spain and my first concert was Cephas and Wiggins at the Arts Centre in Jersey! Very lucky!
Favourite Harp man is Sir Sonny Boy Williamson.
I have a band called Giles Robson and the DIrty Aces and we can be found here: www.gilesrobson-thedirtyaces.com
Many thanks,
