Harmonica Frank *11.10.1908
Harmonica Frank Floyd (* 11. Oktober, 1908 in Toccopola, Mississippi; † 7. August 1984 in Blanchester, Ohio) war ein US-amerikanischer Bluessänger, -gitarrist und -harmonikaspieler.
Er war das Kind von Wanderarbeitern, wuchs aber bei seinen Großeltern auf. Im Alter von zehn Jahren brachte er sich selbst das Mundharmonikaspiel bei und lernte auch das Gitarre spielen. Nachdem seine Großeltern gestorben waren, schloss er sich einer Medizinshow an, in der er viele verschiedene Dinge Folkstile lernte. Harmonica Frank hat mehrere Schallplatten für Sam Phillips aufgenommen (die auf den Plattenlabeln Chess und Sun herausgegeben worden sind), darunter auch Rockin' Chair Daddy, das drei Wochen vor Elvis' That's All Right Mama erschien. Er war der erste weiße Musiker, der in den Sun-Studios aufnahm und Sam Phillips die Idee gab, dass ein Weißer, der schwarze Musik singt, ein großer Erfolg sein müsste. Unter Eingeweihten gilt er als 'Legende'. Wie der Titel eines seiner Alben sagt, (The Missing Link) verbindet er in seiner Person die Tradition der Medizinshows mit dem frühen Rock ´n Roll.
Bevor er in den frühen 1950er Jahren von Sam Phillips für Sun Records[1] aufgenommen wurde, hatte er bereits ein lange Karriere in Medizinshows hinter sich. Er perfektionierte eine Technik des gleichzeitigen Mundharmonikaspiels mit einer Seite und des Singens mit der anderen Seite seines Mundes. Er konnte auch mit der Nase Mundharmonika spielen und auf diese Art zwei Harmonikas gleichzeitig bedienen, eine Fertigkeit, die er mit den Blues-Harpisten Walter Horton und Gus Cannon's Partner Noah Lewis gemein hatte.
1972 wurde er von Steve LaVere (Stephen C. LaVere) 'wiederentdeckt' und nahm in den darauffolgenden Jahren zwei Langspielplatten auf den Labeln Adelphi und Barrelhouse auf.
In seinem Buch Mystery Train aus dem Jahre 1975 hat sich Greil Marcus mit seinen Gedanken über die Vereinigten Staaten und den Rock ’n’ Roll auf die sechs Musiker Robert Johnson, Harmonica Frank, Randy Newman, The Band, Sly Stone und Elvis Presley konzentriert.

Harmonica Frank (October 11, 1908, Toccopola, Mississippi - August 7, 1984, Blanchester, Ohio)[1][2] was an American blues singer, guitarist and harmonicist.Biography
Early life, performing technique
Frank Floyd was the son of itinerant parents who separated without giving him a name.[2] He was raised by his sharecropping grandparents, who died while he was a teenager. He taught himself to play harmonica when he was 10 years old, and he eventually learned guitar. He gave himself the name Frank Floyd,[2] and began performing in the 1920s for traveling carnivals and medicine shows.
He learned many types of folk music and became a mimic, effortlessly switching from humorous hillbilly ballads to deep country blues.
With his self-taught harmonica technique, he was a one-man band, able to play the instrument without his hands or the need for a neck brace. While also playing guitar, he perfected a technique of manipulating the harmonica with his mouth while he sang out of the other side. He could also play harmonica with his nose and thus play two harmonicas at once, a skill he shared with blues harp players Walter Horton and Gus Cannon's partner Noah Lewis.
Early recordings
After years of performing on the medicine-show circuit, Harmonica Frank began working in radio in 1932.[2] His first records were made in 1951, engineered by Sam Phillips in Memphis, Tennessee.[2] The songs, "Swamp Root", "Goin’ Away Walkin'", "Step It Up and Go", "Howlin’ Tomcat", and "She Done Moved", were licensed to Chess Records. Phillips put out another single on Sun Records, "Rockin Chair Daddy"/"The Great Medical Menagerist" in 1954. Harmonica Frank thus became the first white musician to record at that studio.[2] Floyd and Larry Kennon released a shared single, "Rock-A-Little Baby"/"Monkey Love" in 1958, on their own record label, F&L.
Rediscovery, legacy and death
Harmonica Frank's songs appeared on many all-black blues compilations in the 1960s and 1970s, collectors being unable to distinguish his race.
In 1972 he was "rediscovered" by Stephen C. LaVere and in the following years recorded two albums for the Adelphi and Barrelhouse labels, including a compilation of the early material. Additional full albums were recorded before his death in 1984, many of which have become available on CD, though his vintage recordings (1951–59) remain mostly out of print and unavailable aside from occasional tracks on compilations.
In his 1975 book Mystery Train: Images of America in Rock 'n' Roll Music, author Greil Marcus presented a unique vision of America and music, and how they relate by using (as metaphors) six musicians, one of whom was Harmonica Frank.
Frank Floyd died in Blanchester, Ohio, on August 7, 1984, due to complications from Type II diabetes (which had previously cost him his leg) and lung cancer. He was survived by his late-life spouse, Frances Kincaide-Pierce-Floyd. She died in June 2008, in Georgetown, Ohio, from natural causes.
Howard Glazer *11.10.
Howard Glazer ist ein Meister auf der Gitarre und dafür zollt man ihm nicht nur in seiner Heimatstadt Detroit Anerkennung. Seine Künste auf den sechs Saiten und in der Variante mit dem Bottleneck (auch in Erinnerung an Johnny Winter) sind schon bemerkenswert gut. Nur gut ist seine Stimme. Individuell geprägt kann Howard Glazer seinen Gesang nicht so variantenreich einbringen, wie seine Fertigkeiten auf dem Fretboard.
Detroit guitar virtuoso Howard Glazer's new CD release Stepchild Of The Blues draws upon his eclectic musical past to deliver rootsy guitar based blues and blues rock. This CD is rich with Glazer's unmistakable tone, smokin' technique and fiery slide/resonator work. Two songs feature Harmonica Shah, their first time reunited on CD in 10 years and Chuck Bartels (bassist in Bettye Lavette’s band) is featured on 3 songs. All together there are 9 original tracks, 6 new songs and 3 new takes on Glazer classics.
Howard was recently nominated for the 2013 Downbeat Critics Choice awards in 2 categories: Best Rising Star-Guitarist and Best Blues Artist. He was also nominated for 3 Detroit Music Awards in the Blues/R&B category: Outstanding Band, Outstanding Instrumentalist– Guitar, and Outstanding Song Writer. On September 22, 2013, he will be inducted into the Michigan Blues Hall Of Fame.
When you see and hear Howard live it is always a party!! He surrounds himself with the best musicians that Detroit has to offer, featuring Charles David Stuart – Drums, Chris Brown – Bass, Maggie McCabe and Stephanie Johnson – Background vocals, always impressing the audience with their skill and sound. Howard’s performances consist of powerful original compositions and new takes on blues and rock classics. Tom Keller from Folkworld-Germany says, “In the trio format in the best moments it sounds as if the British rock legends Cream were resurrected.” Wolfgang Spider from the Detroit Blues Society-USA says “Not your Daddy’s blues but rather “in your face” pulsating music designed to get your booty shaking.”
Howard’s debut release Brown Paper Bag garnered national and worldwide attention in both reviews and radio airplay and charted at number 19 on the Living Blues National radio charts. His second release Liquor Store Legend also received rave reviews and extensive airplay worldwide.
Howard has performed extensively both nationally and internationally, including festivals/tours in the USA, Japan, Australia, Italy, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Switzerland, Holland, Greece, England, Germany, Poland, Canada , The Czech Republic, Latvia, Finland, Slovakia and Poland. He has shared the bill with many greats, including Johnny Winter, B.B. King, Savoy Brown, David “Honeyboy” Edwards , Otis Rush, Carrie Bell, Lazy Lester, Lonnie Brooks, Bernard Allison, Foghat, The Guess Who, Latimore, Bobby Rush, Shirley King (BB King’s daughter), Tad Robinson and Johanna Conner. In October 2009, Howard was featured at The Newcastle Blues Festival in Australia. In June 2010 and June 2012, he headlined at The Kaavi Blues Festival in Finland. He is slated to return to Kaavi in 2014
Howard’s endorsements include Delaney Guitars, National Reso-Phonic Guitars, Stan Hinesley Handcrafted Pickups, GHS Strings, Ohlinger Amplifiers, Seagull Guitars, Blues Pearl Amps & Pedals and 4 Seasons Pickups (Holland).

Ray Bonneville *11.10.1948
Ray Bonneville (Born: Raymond J. Bonneville; October 11, 1948) is a Canadian traveling blues singer, musician, and songwriter. Born in Canada, and raised in the United States, Bonneville is a blues-influenced, song and groove man who is strongly influenced by New Orleans, Louisiana.[1]
To date, Bonneville has released seven records and, in 2000, won the prestigious Juno Award (Canadian Grammy) for his third album Gust of Wind.[2] As a touring musician Bonneville plays more than one hundred and fifty shows a year across the United States, Canada and Europe.[3]
History
Ray Bonneville was born in Hull, Quebec the second-oldest of nine siblings in a family that spoke solely French. When he was twelve his family re-located to Quebec City. Soon after, his father, a mechanical engineer, found work in Boston, Massachusetts, the family relocated to the States and Bonneville was placed into public school without knowing a bit of English.[1] There, Bonneville fell behind in school, but took to music in a big way after a friend showed him how to play guitar. Bonneville always had a contentious relationship with his father and often ran away from home. To keep his son home his father bought him a guitar and let him smoke cigarettes in the house.[4]
Bonneville's family moved back to Canada when Bonneville was in his late teens and Bonneville, who had been expelled from school, signed up for the United States Marine Corps just in time for the Vietnam War.[5]
Returning from the war, Bonneville worked in Boston as a taxicab driver to pay the bills, teaching himself to play harmonica between fares. Getting more involved in the music scene, Bonneville began freelancing with R&B and blues bands in the Boston area.[5] Then, in the 1970s, Bonneville began traveling the country exploring and absorbing musical styles, playing at festivals and small clubs across the United States, and opening for the likes of B.B. King, Muddy Waters, and Dr. John.[4]
In the 1970s Bonneville, while in Colorado, learned how to fly a plane and supplemented his income by working as a flight instructor in New Orleans and Boston as well as doing aerial-advertising banner-pulling over Cape Cod, Massachusetts. In 1988 Bonneville returned to Quebec to work as a bush pilot. From May through October he would transport hunters, fishermen, and surveyors into and out of remote areas in a de Havilland Beaver float plane.[4]
Bonneville's music was heavily influenced by his time spent in New Orleans during the 1980s, and later. It is often said that the sound of New Orleans is that of rhythm, the rhythms of a brassy jazz band, of the mighty Mississippi River, of the Delta bluesmen, and the rhythm of slowness.[6] It is this rhythm, this slowness, that captured Bonneville. Bonneville soaked up the prevalent take-your-time attitude that ran through the music being played in New Orleans. "There's something about the heat and humidity that makes people slow down," he says. "New Orleans is where I learned to take my time, to allow space between the notes so the songs could truly groove."[7] It is that groove that is the core of Bonneville's sound. A one-man band, he backs his weathered voice with a highly percussive guitar style, dramatic harmonica lines, and a foot that keeps a steady beat (Bonneville often stomps on a piece of plywood to amplify the beat of his songs).[8] Bonneville's I Am the Big Easy, the 2009 Folk Alliance International Song of the Year features the heart and resilience of New Orleans, post-Katrina.[4]
Musician Brad Hayes is credited, by Bonneville, for much of his early musical development. Hayes and Bonneville had a friendship and musical partnership that lasted for decades, including playing in bands in Colorado for six or seven years, and Hayes performing on Bonneville's CD's. Other musical influences of Bonneville's include Tony Joe White, Mississippi John Hurt and J.J. Cale (to whom he's often compared).[4] "Bonneville writes songs of true-to-life characters who stumble their way through a rough-and-tumble world of violence, hope, and despair" (Jim Blum, NPR).[8]
Awards and recognition
Honing his songwriting craft for the last 35 years, "Bonneville's raw, tell-it-like-it-is storytelling style has won him critical acclaim" (Blum, NPR).[8] Bonneville has been nominated for three Juno awards, winning the 2000 Best Blues Album for his third album Gust of Wind (1999). His fourth release Rough Luck was also nominated, as was his 2004 Red House debut Roll It Down, which made his name in the US, garnering rave reviews from DownBeat and No Depression.[9] Since then, his star has been on the rise, with his award-winning release Goin' By Feel,[10] his folk-charting cover of Bob Dylan's song "It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry" (featured on A Nod to Bob 2: An Artists Tribute to Bob Dylan on His 70th Birthday) and receiving the 2009 Folk Alliance International Song of the Year for I Am the Big Easy, featuring post-Katrina New Orleans.[4][11]
Bonneville has "shared the stage with blues heavyweights B.B. King, Muddy Waters, J.J. Cale, and Robert Cray, and has performed on the stages of South by Southwest and Folk Alliance" (Blum, NPR).

Steffi Breiting *11.10.
„MasterPeace“ heißt die neue Band, in der Musiker aus verschiedenen Ländern zusammen spielen. Dylan ist schon tausende Male verschieden interpretiert worden. Diesmal haben sich sechs exzellente Musiker zusammengefunden, deren musikalische Leuchtfigur über Jahre Bob Dylan ist. Dazu gehören der Gitarrist Bernd Römer von der legendären Gruppe „Karat“ und Wolfram Bodag an Orgel, Piano und Harp von der Band "Engerling". Die Gruppe hat sich der weltbekannte Rockmusiker Mitch Ryder bei seinen Europa-Auftritten zur Stammbegleitung gewählt. Dazu kommen der Brite Jeff Allen am Schlagzeug und Kuma Harada aus Japan an der Bassgitarre. Beide sind seit Jahren weltweit sehr erfolgreich im Musikgeschäft unterwegs, spielen unter anderem in der Band des britischen Blues-Stars Snowy White und bei Mick Taylor, der lange Jahre bei den Rolling Stones spielte. Dort haben sie bei einem Konzert den deutschen Gitarristen Tobias Hillig kennen gelernt, den sich Mick Taylor bei diesem Gig als Gast-Gitarrist auf die Bühne holte. Tobias Hillig, der gemeinsam mit Steffi Breiting auch die Idee zu dieser Band hatte, spielt regelmäßig mit Dirk Zöllner, „Moods of Ally“ und zahlreichen anderen Projekten. Tobias Hillig: „Wir verstehen uns nicht als Cover-Band, Die Lieder sind neu arrangiert und bekommen eine ganz eigene Note.“
Zu den ausgewählten Songs gehören die Klassiker „All along the Watchtower“ und "Like A Rolling Stone". Es sollen auch eher nicht so bekannte Songs gespielt werden. So das 1965er Lied „Ballad of a Thin Man“ oder das 1984er Stück „License to kill“. Dazu gehört aber auch das weithin unbekannte „Winterlude“ von der LP "New Morning". Hillig: „Dylan ist einer der einflussreichsten Künstler unserer Zeit. Es gibt kaum einen Musiker, der sich nicht von ihm hat beeinflussen lassen. Wir verstehen unser Programm als eine Verbeugung vor einem geistigen Riesen der Musik.“

George "Mojo" Buford +11.10.2011
George "Mojo" Buford (* 10. November 1929 in Hernando, Mississippi; † 11. Oktober 2011 in Minneapolis[1]) war ein US-amerikanischer Blues-Musiker. Bekannt wurde er vor allem als Mundharmonika-Spieler in der Band von Muddy Waters.
Buford lernte das Mundharmonikaspielen von seinem Vater. Mit 14 Jahren kam er nach Memphis, wo er in die Blues-Szene eintauchte. 1952 zog er nach Chicago, wo er mit Sam Burden (Schlagzeug) und Dave Members (Gitarre) die Band "The Savage Boys" gründete. Sie lernten Muddy Waters kennen, der sie schließlich engagierte. Sie traten als "Muddy Waters, Jr. Band" auf, wenn Waters außerhalb spielte.
In den 1960ern und Anfang der 1970er spielte Buford zeitweilig in der Band von Muddy Waters und war auch mit ihm auf Tour, u. a. in Australien und Europa. Zuletzt ersetzte er Jerry Portnoy, als dieser die Muddy Waters Band verließ, um bei der Legendary Blues Band mitzumachen.
Seinen Spitznamen "Mojo" erhielt er von seinen Fans in St.Paul, die von seiner Version von "I got my Mojo working" nicht genug bekommen konnten.
George "Mojo" Buford (November 10, 1929 – October 11, 2011) was an American blues harmonica player, best known for his work in Muddy Waters' band.
Biography
Buford relocated from Hernando, Mississippi to Memphis, Tennessee in his youth, where he studied the blues.[1] He relocated to Chicago in 1952,[2] forming the Savage Boys that eventually became known as the Muddy Waters, Jr. Band. They substituted for Muddy Waters at local nightclubs whilst he was touring.[1]
Buford first played in Muddy Waters' backing band in 1959, replacing Little Walter, but in 1962 moved to Minneapolis to front his own band, and record albums.[1] It was in Minneapolis that Buford gained his nickname "Mojo", because of the audiences requesting him to perform his cover version of "Got My Mojo Working."[3] Buford returned to Muddy Waters' combo in 1967 for a year when he replaced James Cotton.[3] He had a longer tenure with Muddy Waters in the early 1970s, and returned for the final time after Jerry Portnoy departed to form The Legendary Blues Band.[1]
He also recorded for the Mr. Blues label (later re-issued on Rooster Blues), Blue Loon Records, and the British JSP label.[1]
Buford died on October 11, 2011, in Minneapolis, after a long hospitalization.[1][4] He was 81.
