Evening Ricky 👋 Well now I'll have to dig out my trem 🫣. It's a Suzuki something 😩. Ah the old Ska , takes me back. I'll be checking out those tracks too 👍. Cheers Ricky , hope your doing good. 🏴🎼🎶🎵🎶👏
Mr. Cool, I admire your work and playing. I enjoy everything about harmonicas. As youngsters, we were introduced to diatonic and tremolo. They were cheap, and you got 'em from the 'Dime Store'. We tooted around on them and occasionally learned to play a song, or a phrase or two (I can't recall how many "we" destroyed and dismantled). I try to play any and every harmonica my money can buy. I kinda steer clear of customs and new innovations until I can perfect what I am attempting to achieve, but I do own a Brendan Power "Lucky13." Love it. I'm considering some of his other simpler innovations, like "PowerBender" and "PowerDraw." I love so many forms and styles of music (no reggae, rap, or hip-hop, although there are some impressive guys in those areas. The style of music just isn't for me. I'm too old, I guess) Thanks for posting. Good luck to ya'.
@@claydobbins9342 Good to hear from you Clay and thank you. It is the early reggae I like most mainly because Ska developed out of American rhythm and blues (Roscoe Gordon deserves a lot of credit there) and Rock Steady is heavily Soul influenced, particularly groups like The Impressions. Best wishes, Ricky
Good luck with the CD Ricky. It sounds really good and reminds me of the 1960s. The fanfare is a bit expensive? I bet those old ska players had a cheaper alternative? was my boy lollipop played on one of those?
@@richardhonour1522 Hi Richard. Thank you. Roy Richards is the great Jamaican harmonica player from back in those days and your right, he would have used whatever tremolo harmonica he was able to buy. The harmonica solo in My Boy Lollipop is a regular richter diatonic blues harp in G, playing in 2nd position. Best wishes, Ricky
