Interview for SPAH: “Harmonica Happenings”

Harmonica news, Top Blues Albums

I’ve just spent a couple of hours chatting with renowned harmonica historian – Manfred Wewers.

Besides being the Convention Seminar Coordinator for SPAH (the largest harmonica organization in North America), Manfred regularly writes articles for SPAH’s “Harmonica Happenings” – its popular newsletter.
