Love me some Junior. I always say that the harmonica is the perfect lead singer's instrument-especially when you don't know how to play another instrument. I was singing long before I decided to take up the harmonica.
The first time I heard "Messin' with the kid", was Akroyd and Belushi (The Blues Brothers) on SNL; (a re-run in the early 80's that originally aired in the early '70's). But, even though they were actors and comedians, they still preformed from their hearts as much as any other musicians. Not that I particularly look to them as "Blues icons", but they used the clout that they had to pursue musical exposure (even though a good portion of their songs were other artists intellectual property). What is your opinion the Blues Brothers? Legitimate musicians? Or a joke? Even though both Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi (may he rest in peace) are comedic icons, I feel they wanted to show the world the music that inspires them. What do you think?
I think that there is definitely some truth to that. Dan Aykroyd wanted nothing more than to be just like Charlie Musselwhite when he was younger. I know those dudes loved the blues and if it helped push the music to more folks, great. That said, I don't consider them or their music to be as legit as the real deal blues musicians. So, ya I guess I agree mostly with what you're saying here.
@@Harmonica123 I agree. I would consider my own dad to be more of a legit blues musician, having grown up watching him do gig after gig; and touring around the country. Playing everything from dive bars to juke joints to festivals and any other place that he could, grinding out a living as a harp player. I just regret not having more time with him to learn more about harmonica.
Backing Track I am using here in key of C with a harmonica in F: ruclips.net/video/x2tXDWzx70Y/видео.html
Fantástico! E essa música tem muita oportunidade para explorar frases no solo da gaita
Remarkable playing, Ronnnie.

Cool! first song I learned to play and sing by ear...lots of new ideas just from this post. Thanks Ronnie
right on brother
Amazing. Covid got me practicing a bit more but good I can't wait to be better
Thanks Ronnie!
Yesss that intro was sickk
Ronnie would u say it is safe to play open Air as long u keep 6'away?
that's what I have been doing. I think the key is limiting how many different musicians you work with for the interim.
that was cool, but I couldn't figure out the Key?
I used an F harp and the track was in C in this clip. For the class, we will use a D harp and play in A.
@@Harmonica123 , I tried a low F but it did'nt quite sound right, maybe I needed to be in the upper octave? Hope I can make it to the class!!
