Heard this on the radio today, and was impressed with the harmonica playing



Who is the harp player? Terry McMillan

I was thinking about how to play with that much force and be in tune. Dude must be tuning his harp to A 445 to abuse it that hard and not be sour.

I really dug it and thought it would good to share.

You got it right ,it's Terry Mac. R.I.P.
He is one of my harp hero,s. Some done't care for his style but I play the way he play's even before I knew who he was.

Terry McMillan had the best tone and vibrato of any harp player I know. He wasn't an overblower or a fancy player, but his style is what made him great. He was also a phenomenal percussionist.

My wife is a country fan. i don't hate it, but a lot is just too 'poppy' for my taste these days. This is one of the songs that I actually turn up when it comes on. So it was Terry McMillan on harp-learn something everyday! R.I.P. He did this really sweet fast run down the harp around 3:48 that always grabs my attention.

FWIW, I still think Garth Brooks looks like a thumb with a hat on it.
