Jul 6, 2011 - Terry "Harmonica" Bean is around 50. He's lived in Mississippi his whole life, and he's the last of the guys playing real rural Mississippi hill country music. Live in performance (don't watch video, but catch him LIVE) doing his one-man band deal, he puts on one hell of a show that's unbeatable!

Aug 28, 2011 - I saw Fred McDowell play at Goddard College in Vermont in the early '70's. My friends and I had never heard his music before and went to the concert sceptical about what we would hear. Fred began to play and we were entranced. He was supposed to play untial 11:00 PM. The audience was so into what he was playing that he played far longer saying "You are the ones that got to go to school in the morning." He was a great musicion. I later saw him play with Bonnie Rhaitt.

Sep 7, 2011 - /watch?v=P2rCkAnhql8&feature=relatedit's not even close but still the best blues-band germany has still to offer imo

zapwai Says:

Oct 9, 2011 - I think the tuning is open E (Just tune to open D - DADF#AD, and put a capo on the second fret)

stevemonkey78 Says:

Oct 14, 2011 - Check out Chris Dollimore hes ace

Oct 30, 2011 - I'm entranced just checking out the video, never heard of this guy before, just discovering the blues at the moment, what a class act.

Nov 8, 2011 - WHAT IS HE USING ON HIS FINGERS. LOOKS LIKE A BROKEN PIECE FROM THE TOP OF A GLASS BOTTLE ON THE RIGHT FINGER. WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER TWO FINGERS.

maewest079 Says:

Dec 8, 2011 - Left hand has a home made glass bottle top slide but he made it short and he is also using the fingertip, that's cool. Right hand looks like two home made finger pickers but like the slide he has it looks like he is using the one on his thumb as a mini slide as well and as a strumming tool. I'd love to know what he used to make the finger picks with. Never seen anyone quite like this mans style either, way cool!

randyyoung21 Says:

Dec 30, 2011 - I saw him in '62 (or '63) opening for Chuck Berry!! Audience was anxious for Chuck to come out (of course) but paid Fred proper respect. He appreciated it.

alexadams1212 Says:
