Man, that gal can really blow, leaving me completely slackjawed with envy. Blues harp—or as my old bass-player friend Joe hilariously referred to it, the “nigger whistle”—is one of three instruments I tried hard to learn years ago but failed miserably, the others being banjo (finger-picked, not clawhammer; any fool with two hands can play clawhammer) and slide guitar.
