I've been playing a baroque instrument called a recorder for months now. I have tenor and soprano instruments. But as I live in pioneer country in Northern Nevada these days I thought a harmonica would be more appropriate. It's also smaller sized and tougher so it can be carried with me anywhere.
It's a beautiful instrument. I got a very nice sounding one. There are ten holes in it and you can blow and suck on each one to produce a different note. There is a technique called "bending" where you can get additional notes out of the thing by varying the air pressure on the hole.
I am learning several traditional songs, like "Clementine". Maybe I'll post a few here in a few days!
When we are not at work, what do we do? That's what this blog is about. The outdoors, healthy activities, technology that makes life easier, fun with friends and family - here's how to do it right!
