Just Released: Roly’s New Book

New Book for Harmonica Players Gifts

A wonderful mix of great harmonica advice, stories from the road and recording studios and some general life observations. Roly’s writing style is engaging and interesting from the first page. I couldn’t wait to keep reading it and read it in about 3 sessions.Lynn Marie
Highly entertaining stuff!Steve Baker
… a very enjoyable book of entertaining reminiscences mixed with words of wisdom about musicianship, gleaned from his long experience playing all over Canada and beyond with legendary names like Ronnie Hawkins and Jeff Healey.Brendan Power
