"I bought my first harp after hearing Lee Oskar play with WAR in 1972. The sound of his playing just mesmerized me, and I knew right then and there I was gonna be a harp player too."

Why SEYDEL harmonicas?

"Rupert Oysler introduced me to the Seydel Session Steel at the SPAH convention in Virginia Beach. He said I would love it and he was right. It only took a few smooth blues riffs to convince me that Seydel was the best harp I had ever played."
