Hiram, wish I still lived in the Bay Area; your workshops look very interesting and combine two of my favorite instruments (harp and ukulele) and genre (blues and Hawaiian and rock). Guess the latter is three but who's counting at this point.
Thanks for the update,
Sandy |

Aloha,
Julie.. you not far, you lazy for drive. See you at the Hayward fest if I don't see you at Gryphon.
The harmonica is the first instrument I learned. The uke is the last. I haven't mastered the uke yet. But I will, soon. There isn't enough time in a day to do everything I'd like to.
The harmonica is associated with country, blues and folk music. But in the right hands, the harmonica can render any music style. It's easy to carry and always handy. Explore the art of playing the harmonica with me at Gryphon Stringed Instruments in Palo Alto on March 8 2008. (see ad above)

Hiram, I would have sent you an email but it doesn't look like you have a way to do that on this forum.
Did you know Joel and Lissa Leong at Kawaihao? |
