Signed up the family for blues harmonica lessons – 4 lessons. Last week was lesson #1 – Mick Martin is the instructor who hosts a local blues show on the local npr station. He mixed alot of music history and stories of different musicians etc. but it was fun. He started with ‘you suck’ —ok so lesson number was inhaling and only on inhaling can you change the note – so assigment for the week was to get single notes from the harmonica – blowing and sucking :) and pratice our simple riff from love love me do…

Over Napa Valley. It was funny, everyone on the van going to the takeoff site was very quiet – guess everyone was wondering if this was such a good idea or not.
