Oztalgian 2,304 Posted February 23 Author Report Share Posted February 23 The harmonica much maligned musical instrument Sound of Silence on harmonica, brilliant Enigma. I like this piece of harmonica music too. Who remembers Morton Fraser and his Harmonica Rascals or Larry Adler? How do they get such sounds from a little instrument. The William Tell Overture towards the end is amazing. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mess 439 Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 Agree with you 100% re the harmonica Oz. Remember the 3 Monarchs who were often on the box and Arthur Tolcher who used to try and gatecrash the end of the Morecambe and Wise show. Larry Adler was outstanding and vastly underrated. Paul Jones plays a mean blues harp too. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MargieH 6,669 Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 ....spoiled it a bit for me seeing and hearing the inane clapping like seals by the people watching! it would have been better (I think) if they just clapped on the off beat. Sorry - I do like the song though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
benjamin1945 13,947 Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 That wasn't the original recording Margie.......dont think any clapping on the original......although i must say i enjoyed the clapping..thats why i chose that one......... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 6,669 Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 I like some clapping - it was just a bit too much and seemed a bit staged. but each to their own .... we’re all different Quote Link to post Share on other sites
