I just uploaded my very first video to youtube.
I was on a local news show promoting an event that I was playing at that night.
Here is the link:

Excellent playing, Brandon!!!
Very nice job with the interview, as well.
BTW: You said you practice an hour to 1.5 hours per day. How long did it take you to get through the initial "harmonica hell" period (where I currently reside), to where it seemed like you were really making some progress?
Lately, I practice on average from 2-3 hours per day, until my jaw, throat and lips hurt too much to play anymore. After the practice session I am usually demoralized, because I am not progressing as fast as I hope to. Sometimes, I simply feel like quitting, but when I hear players such as yourself (and many others), I find the inspiration to practice with more intensity.
Man, I can't wait to get there ....

Great stuff Brandon. You have 3 things going for you :- 1) You sound good 2) You look good 3) You are young. Keep up the good work.

Thanks everyone.
New_B, it took me close to two years after first picking up a harmonica to get past the super tuff part, but I still have times when I think that I'm just not all that good.

Wow! Great Job! Good job with the interview too--I guess Memphis is still the Capitol City of Harp!

Thanks Gordiebluesman. I was using a Marine Band in Bflat.
They had me playing through an Sm58 through the P.A.
Very Clean, so the tone was all me.
I'm glad that you liked it.
