Gary Jugert’s Big Book of Harmonica: I update the book regularly so don’t waste paper by printing it out. The Public Domain Version does not include modern songs under the haze of copyright protections so you can do whatever you like with them except sell the arrangements. If you plan to do something fishy, email me to get permission.

Some Silly Stuff

LeBron James plays harmonica not as good as you.

Lanny and Deb had a gecko sneak into their house and hide behind the printer. When Deb plays harmonica the gecko comes out to listen. She’s the pied piper of harmonica. If being a musician doesn’t work out, she could go into the lizard wrangling business.
