Sunday, August 31, 2008 Jason Ricci - 8/29/2008 I finally got to see Ricci play. The guy is technically amazing. He is able to play all of theos overblows and high end Popper stuff without ever leaving the world of deep dark blues based harp Playing. I am a blues bigot, but I still enjoyed his rock/jazz fusion of genres. I must say that his opening song called "Get Funky" or something lasted about 10 minutes too long, but the show is more of personal journey for Ricci rather than standard entertainment. You've got to go see this guy before he burns himself out. I was surprised that there were not many people at the show. There were only about 40 or so people. Many of these had video cameras going or recording devices so you might search around to find more stuff for the night. He had the singer Gina Fox who is married to Dennis Gruenling touring with him, but she doesn't seem like a good fit for Jason's style. Here's a video from a song "Keep the Wolf From the Door". It sounds like it is a Tom Waits song, but I don't know. Jason Ricci 08292008 Mexicali Blues - Wolf from the Door from jt30guy on Vimeo. I have some pictures that I will upload when I have a minute. I have more video, but I blew my limit at Vimeo for the week.

I bought one of his Shure 520 shells (I've got it partially done - I'm waiting for the paint to dry). These shells are great for harp players. I've always found that the lighter the shell, the easier it is to play. I can play faster and more accurately with a light shell. I am thinking about sending Chris a "brown bullet" shell, but there is question about the suitability for making a mold. It picks up all the flaws so I have to find one in my collection as nearly perfect as possible. I also have some very odd shells, including the series of Japanese plastic shells that are very far out. I might send him three or four and let him choose which ones he wants to clone.

Wonderful concert!! posted by photor at 8/07/2008 06:47:00 PM | 0 comments James Cotton - SUPERHARP! Harp player Dexter Lane was at the Cotton Show and took some good pics. He had a nicer camera and a good eye, so he has managed to capture some really good images.

James sounds pretty good for his age and the band was great. Here are some of the pictures...   posted by Keith at 8/06/2008 10:21:00 PM | 1 comments

Do you collect microphones or work on mics? Do you attend blues harp events and take pictures? Do you know tips and techniques for playing harp that you'd like to share. I need bloggers who are willing to post to JT30.com a few times a month on harp related subjects (not spam). Your posts will reach about 10,000 unique readers each month. Let me know if you are interested. Thanks, Keith Search all Craigslist cities for musical instruments: Free Name-A-Star Give a special gift. Name a star for free www.freenameastar.com 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. Free Blues Concerts
