Hot Times at Old Town

Appearing below are selections from the hard copy Hot Times. The objective is to highlight activities at the School and in the larger community, especially those featuring or of special interest to teachers and staff. Your suggestions are welcome.

Amazing harmonica playing

Youtube now has a series of harmonica clips by Sam Hinton. The clips are from his harmonica instructional DVD – possibly the entire disk. This is old-time playing, including the “no hands” trick where the harp is held in his mouth (along with the secret of how he does it!). The clips are less instruction than wonderful playing and tidbits of history, but worth seeing. www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=DancingCatProduction&p=r .

Frank Hamilton, the School’s first teacher, tipped us off to this: thanks!. Harp players should also search out the clips by Adam Gussow (who held a workshop at the School a while back; see below). His clips include very good instruction.
