Greetings from the Netherlands
« on: September 15, 2021, 12:25:55 PM »
Hello everybody,

Just joined SlideMeister a couple of days back.
I used to be a member a few years back but due to long absence my membership lapsed.
I always thought that SlideMeister is the perfect place for us Chromatic players.
I started playing Chromatic for the last umpteen years ! Must later I picked the Chord and then the Bass.
My favourite players are Jerry Murad Harmonicats, Stag MacMann Trio, Hotcha Trio, Adler Trio and several others.
I have attended quite a few harmonica festivals at GSHC, Spah and quite a few in Europe.
My most favourite solist is Toots Thielemans. I was lucky to meet him and befriend him.

Look forward to hearing from you all.

Gautam

It's good to see you here.
This IS the place for free reed players of the button persuasion.
I am beginning to study the Harmonetta, have you tried that?
