I'm 40 years old and my first contact with a harmonica was with an age of 5 years.
My grandfather shows me how to play on a chromatic harp and I learned day by day...
Then there comes my first contact with music from Little Marion Walter Jacobs and Muddy Waters... And wow... The harmonica player was so unbelievable good... So There I knew what I wanted. I bought my first diatonic harp and had to learn playing cross... My lips burned like fire because of playing every day with a marine band.... They were so sharp and cut my lips.... But the sound is the best I can say because I tried several harps... Know I only play the Marine Band Deluxe.... And Blues.....
“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson
