Today's show featured the diverse uses of the harmonica from multi-instrumental composers Patrick Wolf and Frank Zappa. Wolf plays the glass harmonica in his song The Messenger, utilizing its fragile, bell like sound, and Zappa hyperbolizes Dylan's harmonica playing accompanied by ironic banter between him and a pseudo Dylan. We also heard some more ambient tunes with haunting harmonica bits, adding an element of eerie relaxation..weird. There were a few jam songs thrown in the set and I'm looking for a few more to add to next week as well as some more punk stuff from the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. Classic blues also played an important part in today's playlist as usual :) and i plan on getting some Son House and other delta greats for next time.
