“A very enjoyable book of entertaining reminiscences mixed with
words of wisdom about musicianship.”

Harmonica book, funny, Roly Platt, autobiography

“Roly’s book is much like a lively conversation; it’s humorous, entertaining, and packed with deep dives into his unique approach to playing. Beyond technique, it also shares pivotal moments of his career, including a collection of delightfully comical and often bizarre stories from his time in the studio and touring the world. A must-read for musicians and enthusiasts eager to learn from a seasoned pro!”

— Richard Anderson
