Today we’re celebrating the mighty harmonica – a pint-sized powerhouse that has soundtracked the blues and provided the essential accompaniment to protest and folk songs. This handy pocket instrument has whispered, wailed, and roared its way through decades of sound. A story of breath and brass – blowing through genres and generations. Blowin’ with the wind..
