When you search YouTube for "blues harmonica" and set the filter for "today," you sometimes stumble across cool stuff. Here's a video that had no views--literally: zero views--when I found it just now. Now it has one. Knut Reiersrud is a Norwegian blues guitarist, but he blows a mean harp. This is some fine on-the-mic acoustic harp:

Knut is a fantastic player. He's my favorite Norwegian guitarist, such a unique style!
I was lucky to get to play with him a few weeks ago in Arlington, MA for a Mighty Sam McClain tribute show. Here's a clip with a beautiful version of What a Wonderful World in the end (Harmonica solo at 5:35):
