The Tulsa Harmonica Summit had a big blowdown at the end featuring the players listed above. I was blowing through my amps, which were blasting right at the camera, and in that sense I had an advantage. This is a good chance to get a sense of how we came together on one song and one groove. Big fun:



....and Jimmy Markham, a Tulsa legend, all the way on the right.

I love how RJ gets in and gets out. A true gentleman.

I had forgotten how good Ronnie Shellist's tone is. Its been a few years since I've seen him.

The guy in the red shirt has some killer old school phrasing. You can tell he listened to a lot of records.

Joe - The guy in the red shirt is David Bernston. He has quite a few good videos on YouTube under the name Bernesto1. I think he was/is one of the main organisers of the Tulsa event.

Awesome!Grat to hear how many interpretations can be made from a simple progression.
Todd plays Harp with chewing gum in his mouth!?
Seems like a recipe for disaster.Didn't seem to affect his playing though.

Nice, I really like these throw down videos! Adam's & Todd's solos were my favorite :) .
