Certainly I'd never heard of him until someone on a list sent a link to this video. He played in the 30s -50s, and apparently most of his work is in first position in the high register. This song, which is St. James Infirmary under another name, is in fourth position on a Bb harp.
(I tried to use the button to insert the video but must have done something wrong so I posted this link instead.)

WOW !! Great playing. Really shows how you can make the harmonica sing. It's so human .. beautiful.
For inserting the video ... sometimes YouTube puts extra information in the URL which messes up our YouTube video inserter. I've put it on our list to recognize and deal with it automatically. Thanks for calling this out Rich.
Mike: I found that using the "imbed" feature on YouTube and inserting the code in html worked fine, but I was unable to get a video to work just using it's url.
Hi Vinny .. thanks for the feedback. To insert a YouTube video with the link, you use the big red play button on the top menu and then cut and paste the link in the box. When you do this, the Sonic Junction looper and other functions work with the YouTube video.
Let me know if this solves your issue ... thanks!
