Or whatever, just any song that you love that heavly features a Harmonica. I keep plucking around with the one I have, and I want to hear great stuff to keep me motivated to play it more!

    I wish I had the emotional stamina to practice the harp. These legends are incredible and I wish I could be half as good as them

    It's fun to just mess around with though. The floor I think is really low, but the ceiling is actually quite high. Like, I can hand it off to my kiddos and they have a lot of fun just huffing and puffing, and sometimes, it doesn't sound all that bad if they do it with some rhythm. But if you want to make the thing sing, it's so much harder then it looks.

    Sad to see there’s no Gorilla Biscuits in this thread yet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjR0GUOAXOU

    Sing Song Kitty by Doc Watson

    Rude and Rambling Man by Doc Watson and friends on Pete Seeger's public access show Rainbow Quest. The harmonica doesn't really stand out much, but it's there adding a layer of depth to the fiddle which is neat and not something I hear often

    Edit: also Bob Dylan has a lot of harmonica heavy songs, but I'm not a fan so I couldn't tell you which ones are worth listening to

    Second edit: also Woody Guthrie has a bunch of songs with harmonica as well, if you're not sick of old folk music

    This one doesn't technically count, as there is no full version of this, but I literally can't get it out of my head some days.
