Hilarious stories… keep it an entertaining read!
Whether you are just a music fan, new to playing or a long time student of the harmonica, Roly shares the challenges and joys of discovery in music practice and performing with this portable pocket instrument we love to play. Lots of funny and insightful observations whether on or off stage, in the recording studio, and often hilarious stories from life on the road always keep it an entertaining read.
Carlos del Junco
Internationally honoured harmonica master -
“Great read!”
“… a very enjoyable book of entertaining reminiscences mixed with words of wisdom about musicianship, gleaned from his long experience playing all over Canada and beyond with legendary names like Ronnie Hawkins and Jeff Healey”
