Just wondering if anyone's found country harmonica instruction on Youtube that's along the lines of the great stuff Adam's posted over the past few years.
I haven't found it, but I've heard Mickey Raphael has some instructionals somewhere. I'd put my money on him considering he's played for Willie all these years. ---------- Hawkeye Kane
Thanks, guys. If Mickey's ever done anything, I'd be very surprised. I met him a couple times, once for a lesson of sorts (ended up being more like a hang-out session), and he never mentioned anything like that. I'll hunt around for J.P. Allen.
There was a guy named Marcos who put out some videos but didn't find anything on youtube. There is Charlie McCoy not much teaching but tons of tunes. I talked to Buddy Greene about putting out something. He said he needed a little break since he just finished his CD but to bug him in the future about doing something. I told him I would give him 90 days he said ok Grace, he 30 left. I'm a closet country player so I hope he does something soon or you'll be stuck with me playing this.LOL

Buddy is one guy that I think gets overlooked a lot, possibly because he's mainly classified as a gospel artist. But I remember watching the Gaither Homecoming specials as a kid. He and Mark Lowry, a hero of mine, wrote that beautiful Christmas song "Mary Did You Know?", and when the two of them perform it together, Buddy busts out the harp and plays a mournful interlude. Always brings a tear to me eye.
EDIT: Found it!

I have seen instructional materials by Charlie McCoy,Steve Cash(Ozark Mtn.Daredevils)Norton Buffalo,and Madcat Ruth. Check Amazon and their websites. @Diggs It would be nice if Buddy did something. I saw him live twice. Amazing performer.
I also have been searching for country lessons & would love to see something from Buddy Greene who is one of my favourite players. A year ago I sent an email to Charlie McCoy & he told me to keep an eye on his website as his teaching video was soon to be released on DVD. But its been over a year and still nothing. For Bluegrass I see Sandy Weltman has teaching videos available.
I have Buddy Greenes new CD and it is one of my favourites. Buddy certainly can mix it up with Gospel, Bluegrass, Folk, Country, Irish etc . Loved the Mary Did You Know video as I had not heard it before. Thanks for posting. ---------- HARPOLDIE’S YOUTUBE
Ok when I talk to Buddy I'll tell him you guys want him to do something. He was a big hit at SPAH. Down to earth guy sat in at the late night blues jam.
