Paul deLay dies
Paul deLay, the incredibly brilliant harp player, died today of complications from leukemia.

Paul was a wonderful person as well as a harp player. This came as a complete surprise to everyone. I just talked to him a few weeks ago. He will be missed.

Life is so very short and with this, so horrifyingly fragile. To all those folks that personally knew him and loved him: I know, my friends.
Yes indeed,.....I'm with you in your heart.

Little Walter aside, I think he was as good as anybody!

History of this page.

In the dawn of the World Wide Web (1994), Keith Graham created the JT30 page. It started out as a home page for modifying JT30 microphones. Eventually the page became a catchall for microphones and amplified harmonica playing. You can see these pages at: The Original JT30 Page

Now I have three pages for harp mics, harp tab and harp amps. I'm going to start another one just for learning harp.

Links and Off-site Resources

There is a cool news search engine at Google and there is almost always something interesting about Harmonicas. Try a Harmonica Search at Google News.
There are interesting Usenet discussion groups at Google:

The Cable Channel CNBC had a small article on collecting vintage microphones on 3/28.
Microphone Techs! Here is a nice article out of Circuit Cellar Magazine on the D-104, the older brother of the JT-30. It has a great discussion on crystal mics and how they match to modern equipment. There is a project on how to rig up a little op amp matching circuit.

If you haven't been checking out BassHarps Gig list, then you are missing out on great harp playing. If you are gigging and not on the list then you are probably playing to a half empty house.
There is a Jam Session FAQ on the Internet. Some of it is old and is missing some of the best blues Jams, but it may be useful for finding a local jam. Another more recent jam list is at the National Blues Pages.
Buy an Astatic mug, Harp Joke T-shirt or Mic Mousepad!
