DJ Norman Davis has outdone himself. Check out the brand-new website devoted exclusively to women harmonica players. And if there's an important player that you believe should be included on Davis's site, please contact him at: norman@radiothrills.com

Great site.
An impresive list of names.

Having women in our club has been a GREAT asset.

Let's see, I think the only ones on his list I did know were Big Momma Thornton, Rachel Plas, Annie Raines, Tiffany Harp, Big Nancy, Hermine Deurloo and, of course, Christelle.

I know Alanis Morisette 'plays' harmonica. I didn't know Michelle Branch did.

I typed in 'harmonica' on YouTube and there were only 2 videos of female harmonica players in the first ten pages (one appeared twice, but she seemed to be a random YouTube celebrity who happened to be showing off her out of key harmonica necklace) and someone with the handle rebeccajwenger who does a pretty funny instructional video where she doesn't talk at all that's been posted on the forum a few times.

No offense...
But when you make a website about such a cool subject, you'd probably want at least a basic design/layout to back it up.
The site just doesn't look very inviting!

Anyway, I love Mariana Barsato's tone, seen a couple of her videos. She's pretty cute too!

Very cool. Thanks for the link Adam. Am I guessing right that there was probably a 100% increase in women participants at this year's HCH?
