Posted on behalf of Ben:


Hi pals,

Did you know Goodies Graeme Garden and Bill Oddie both play the harmonica? I met them last weekend and uncovered that gem! Now we just have to get Tim Brooke-Taylor on board, reform the Goodies and start touring.

May I offer our latest newsletter in which you will find a ‘20% off sale’ of Bones of the Blues - our amazing CD/book download which shows you how to improvise and play blues tunes in 4 keys on a C harp without bending a single note!

There’s also some great info and footage about other comedians who play the harmonica, details about skype lessons with Ben, and a new mail order harmonica website to tell you about. It’s all good!

Many thanks

Ben Hewlett

I'm from the UK and my harp playing is a joke ;0)

Does that count?

Your playing cannot be faulted but, My woman laughs when I say "one day that will be me up there."

Why didn't Ben post this himself? I know for a fact he has a membership, even if maybe he doesn't use it enough to remember the password.

I'd like to see a harp player crack a few jokes.
E.g.
Q: How many harp players does it take to play Juke?
A: 31. One to do it, and 30 to tell them how Little Walter did it differently.

yeah, Ben will post his own stuff in future, he did not want to be too commercial, so I suggested post in the 'for sale' thread. Also, he likes to delegate!
