Here is a set with the great but not-widely-enough-known Irish player Mick Kinsella, at last weekend's Bristol harmonica fest, UK. The Irish tunes are played on a Paddy Richter diatonic (me) and chromatic (him) and the middle bluesy jam features him on overblow Richter and me on a PowerBender.

There is a fascinating pre-amble of shifting chairs and mic stands (for those interested in such things); the actual music starts about 1:25 in:

Fantastic playing! Are you using the powerbender here or other tunings?

Two harmonica masters at work...

Brandon, you have the rare talent of making two harmonicas sound great together. The beatboxing part was uber cool. Also the third part, of complementary melodies/harmonica parts... works nicely.

Ehemmm.. chromatic blues is kinda unorthodox... but all of this is forgotten once you change back to the irish jig (!?!).. hehe :)
