New Celtic harmonica online forum

New Celtic harmonica online forum

For harmonica players who want to discuss and post their own recordings of Irish and other celtic and traditional tunes, there is a forum at the Buddha's Groove harmonica player's site:

http://www.thebuddhasgroove.com/buddhaforum/forum.asp?$sid=&id=32

I've already posted some Scottish and Canadian Northwest tunes. Amnyone can read the posts and listen to the recordings, but you have to join to post messages.

Hope to see you there.

CFCW - you mean Hal Yerxa in Alberta? Yeah, but not closely. All Yerxas are descended from a single individual born in New York state about 1750. He wouldn't knuckle under when the American Revolutionaries came to town and ordered everyone to to join up - he took the "or else" and saw them burn his crops and take one of his two cows. He joined a band of guerilla provisioners instead and after the war fled north to New Brunswick province. Yerxas have been border hopping ever since (like me - Vancouver-born and raised, California resident).
