Have a look at the forum how-to (linked on the main page). All things are explained there.

Welcome to the internet :)

Peter- for YouTube it's really easy to embed a video (make it so it shows in the thread ready to play instead of just as a bunch of code.) On the YouTube page under the video there is a little button that says 'embed'. Click it and a box with code will appear. Highlight the code with your mouse and right-click copy it, and then just paste it in your post, and presto, the video shows up.

Pretty cool find. I like the sound.

And another one by them, with a much funnier video.

I dislike music videos with the artist in front of the camera and dancing/singing/playing an instrument. It seems so awkward.

I love when the video tells a story.

I enjoyed his "harp in the mouth" pose. Up next! 50 cent with Seydels!!

Very cool! I think it sounds very nice. How many harmonica players do you know that have music videos that look as cool as these??? Nice solo towards the end of the second video too.

Anyone else feel that this is a logical place for the harmonica to show up in the continuing african american music tradition?

Pete, I am curious to know why this isn't your thing?

i much prefer the first vid over the second... The last jam I attended, during the break, the local hip hop station was put on and I had a chance to groove to some Rap and RnB... Cool stuff, and i think it fits right in with the "continuing african american music tradition"

do you think its coincidence that he picked the harp with the largest name splashed across the back of it? (one of the things i despise about LO's)

I think these are cool, definitely getting the harp in front of new audiences, and I think it plays a good role in both songs.

The first video seems more hip hop, the second one sounds like Irish pub rock like the Pogues or something.

Not my favorite style of music, but he has a really nice sound on the harmonica. It's nice to hear a different style of harmonica playing like this once in awhile.

First video is in the key of 'B' (if i'm not mistaken). Thats a rather uncommon key. Wonder why he chose that.

Got to defend this, it may be simple, but it is catchy as hell. He is definetely playing to the the ladies and not the teenage boys with this one. There is also another video of him talking about the French hip hop scene in a very intelligent positive manner.He will also reach a much larger audience than any of us.Fact.
