Ah that's your account! I love that cover! To repeat my question I already wrote in the comments - when will Santa Fe, WWWB and WLOL follow?

Wow, well done, I'm amazed. Great arrangement, great voice - is that you singing?

Thank you! I wish... that is a buddy of mine singing. I do the arrangement and all instruments and he lends me his vocals. We also have IIWYM and Novocaine up.

I am afraid all three are as finished as they will ever be. They're just not all that great. I need to put them to a slideshow and be done with them. I also have TAALS, As My Guitar..., Letting You Go, and Mystery Train's music finished, which I am much more excited about... I just need vocals.

Just came across this and didn´t want to start a new thread so here it is.


http://worldofharmonica.blogspot.co....mansfield.html

When you scroll down a little bit you can find this:


Photos with Jon Bon Jovi

These are from recording of Bon Jovi’s “NEW JERSEY” album. Darrell taught Jon how to play harmonica for it.


Sorry if this is old news. Never thought Jon took up "lessons" to play harmonica

He plays a bit of the harmonica here in this recent interview which aired in March.

You can tell from that why he doesn't play it anymore. He's terrible.

I love the harmonica though, and think it really adds to a lot of songs so I'd love to see it used more often, whether by Jon or maybe Bobby could play it!

Well yeah - it was tougher to learn an instrument in pre Youtube days, even the harmonica

While reading through this, I saw Becky's point of 'he can do anything he wants if he sets his mind to it' or something along those lines. That is hilarious
