“No, Seriously, I Play Harmonica”
— by Roly Platt
I am very excited to announce that I am in the final editing stages of publishing my new endeavour, “No, Seriously, I Play Harmonica”.
This book is an entertaining conversation offering a deep dive into my approach to harmonica playing, pivotal moments, and musical insights, all woven together with a slew of funny, sometimes bizarre tales from my decades of working in the studio and on the road.
Specific Harmonica Chapters Include:
Improvising, Practising, Major turning points, Developing your own style and Working in a band situation
This will be my forty-eighth year working as a professional harmonica player. I spent the first fifteen years of my career trying to become a great harp player. I’ve spent the balance of those years trying to become a decent musician. This is an candid, unvarnished, look inside my life as a musician, and how all these experiences have led me closer to that most worthy musical combination.
Softcover: approximately 200 pages
