I am fortunate to have gotten to know Charlie personally. I've been in that office. It is humbling - but Charlie is so humble himself - the way he comes across in this video is exactly what he's like - he doesn't put on an act for anyone.
Wow, that is really cool. His office has all kinds of stuffs in it! I'm all the more disappointed that I must miss his show next week cause of my thankless job. Thanks for sharing!

What a great video....I actually got to talk to Charlie for a bit after his show here....It was like talking to my next door neighbor....friendly - unpretentious.
Thanks Greg ! ----------
Music is your own experience, your own thoughts, your wisdom. If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn. They teach you there's a boundary line to music. But, man, there's no boundary line to art. - Charlie Parker
Charlie is my main harmonica influence and idol. What a great person he is! I live far away from him but I belive that some day I will see him playing. May be in Europe. Thank you for sharing this ---------- http://www.youtube.com/user/wheelharp

Mr VLUN is right. I've deleted a comment that would have been quite off topic. I think it's worth repeating that the only bullets we need here are made by Shure and Astatic. And Greg, of course.
when I hike in the mountains I take my cheap harps like johnsons and hohner blues band in a ziplock bag which quite sure is protective-my best ones stay in harp cases
"Pig Hunt" is a very bad and campy "fright fest" movie from a couple of years ago.
The plot is a weak one about a 3,000lb killer pig up in Northern California. I think it was filmed in a couple of weeks up by Boonville. It's got NorCal residents Les Claypool and both Charlie and Henri Musselwhite in small roles.
Like I said, it's a BAD movie. But, well worth watching just to get a kick out of seeing Mr & Mrs Musselwhite and locations that will be familiar to people from the region.
