The featured artist this week is Peter Madcat Ruth... Like many of us slightly younger guys growing up that fell in love with the harmonica, we also found Sonny Terry and his
style to be an important tool to develop our own styles. Sonny's influence can be heard loud and clear throughout Madcat teachings and playing... Read more.... ....Madcat's Biography

Michael Crawley's harmonica insight, tips and a bit of personal history
I am a 50 year old (young at heart)harmonica/singer who trys to loves life to the fullest... I also love music. It has always been my main focus, as well as my hobby, my passion and a my personal savior for the past 30 some odd years (Praise be the medium shuffle in the key of f#). I've played the Harmonica since 1973 (Thanks to Randy" Nello" Nelson), but only religiously for the past 25 years. I also love people of all shapes and styles...dogs and cats living together, well that’s an experiment we are still trying to perfect.I have a strong faith in Higher Power,and a deep appreciation for my wife Gretchen, my awesome family (see Home for the Holidays post) , Buddha, Bill W, David Crane, Texas Tom Bucy (why I outta), the Dali Lama, B, Tall Paul and his awesome family...Tom Waits, Lennon and McCartney, The Glimmer Twins, Zimmerman, Pete Townsend, Detroit Dave, Dave Allen, Mike Russell, McKinley Morganfield, Chester Arthur Burnett, Little Walter, Mitch Kashmar, Tom Ball, Fingers Taylor... THANKS for all the inspiration and friendships throughout the years...

Hey Cuz! Since Madcat lives in my neck of the woods (southern Michigan) I've had the pleasure of seeing him play on several occasions. He truly is one of the best. I've seen him use all the different keyed harmonicas in one song - without missing a beat! He and Sheri Kane always play at the Winter Jubilee on New Years Eve in Ypsilanti Michigan. The spirit of Sonny Terry lives on! - Tim
