My dad wasn't an accomplished Harp Player like Don but he was very talented. He could play all of the standard tunes he grew up with in the 30's and 40's on a 10 hole harp and he also played a chromatic harp. My brother also plays but not on dad's level and I never got past the song "My Old Kentucky Home". Camcorders and KZbin came along too late for my dad or I would post some of him playing for me and my friends around the kitchen table when we were kids. You would have liked it. He was fun.

I think I'm the only one who's commented in like 5 years 😆, only harmonica players have respect for this dude's endurance, definitely not something you do for fun that's for sure.

Don has played from Chicago to New Orleans and can play with the best if not better in his true blues . That's why he is such a great musician .

Brought my 19 year old son to see him. Quite disappointing on guitar. He's no blues guitar legend. He tells a good story in fairness. Doubt some of them would pass a polygraph. 10 out of 10 for neck though.

I had the pleasure of working with Don on a number of occasions in Cork and Dublin back in the late 90's early 00's. Absolute gentleman to work with and a gent off the stage too. Great musician.

Thank you Don for your tutorial video which was a Xmas present from my son in 1995 (mine was on vhs video cassette), I had always been a mouthorgan player but had never learned to play the blues - six weeks later, I was up there with a band jamming!! Still playing check out "The Old Buzzard Blues Band" version of the Doors classic Roadhouse Blues. Live Long and Prosper!!!

I listen to everything with a bit of charisma and soul, and I don't enjoy his harp playing. All I'm saying, not to say others don't. No one's perfect, and true, no need to worry what anyone thinks if you truly love what you play it doesn't matter. Doesn't mean I like it. And very true that a unique interpretation of any form of art is what truly makes the artist. Doesn't necessarily make them comparable to any great of the art form however.
@oOIntheKnowOo12 жыл бұрын
I have not heard much of Don's playing, probably about a dozen songs. I feel that technically sure, he can play a harmonica. Sure he can play fast, but from what I've heard and seen he lacks the charisma that some of the old blues musicians had. Namely Sonny Terry and Sonny Boy Williamson. Anyone, given enough time, can whoop and blow quickly on a harmonica, it takes charisma heart and soul to truely fall in with the harmonica greats.
@arselick111 жыл бұрын
i see nothing incredible about positive power, below average singing and playing the same high note nearly the whole way through the song.
@donschmitz24129 жыл бұрын
He's playing a real high keyed harp. Would sound way better with a G or at lease an A. It's too shrill. Annoying piece
