almost everything that could go wrong, did

A bluesy story about how one musician dealt with multiple setbacks during a recent tour. With Adam Gussow of Modern Blues Harmonica.

Had no idea it was so challenging! I struggle to find my harp when i want to practice…

Its so comforting to see that the pros have the same problems we all do. Thanks for sharing that, its human

A great musician with equal talent as a storyteller.

Way to stick things out and make it work, Dr. Adam.

Great stories Adam! You guys sounded great in New Smyrna Beach. Venue was kind of strange, but the music was great. Nice seeing you again. Gus

Great discription of your adventure, I have never played any music for the public but If someday I am good enough I will remember this post 👌

[veroniquegallant]

Thank you for sharing your anecdotes professor! You made me laugh with your crazy hair story 🤣 you could do an infommercial for this pommade...
You are a resourceful man.
Tu as un bon système D, as we say in french!
I hope the next gig will go smoother for the trio, but truth is: trouble makes good stories 😄

[mocman]

All good lessons learned, thank you for sharing!

[jimklar]

Bought your latest album and it's great. Keep it up. The stories are great too!

[seanlane]

Haha...😁 This is sooo good! Real life on the road as a blues musician. I love that you discovered a new pomade to keep everything looking right top side. I actually had to buy a can of Murray’s Pomade when I was in your hometown of Oxford Mississippi last. It became a great souvenir from the trip. 😉

As a stage hand by trade, I feel ya Adam ! I'm glad everything worked out for you ! I hope you bring the tour to So Cal ! Stay Safe !

[Ray-Angel]

Hey Adam, have you looked into any of the modern amp in a box pedals? The Joyo American Sound is on Amazon for $40 and plugs into the mixer. I'd love to see some reviews of this type of product from you. Hell, I buy one for if it'll help.

[wildeman]

Funny stuff. You could try a ABY box too, might find its more durable than that Y cord.

[Monroenewhome]

Gussow, how about that Amazing 12 bar blues for beginners!!? The variation on that big hit video you just did.
Need something new to get back on the harping trail again

I know what you mean. I played for almost 40 years on the road and you have to be prepared and be your own roadie.

[jimfillingim]

I know exactly what you mean. I spent most of 15 years on the road with a rock/blues band touring night clubs...festivals...opening for big name bands and living outa a suitcase in motels and band houses up the east coast and Gulf states in another lifetime. Put enough miles on my ass for a life of musical commitment with all its issues and drawbacks. You only have to do THAT ONCE ....Thankfully

I am always nervous with the electronic gear on stage. I once got zapped really good off a mic . I always think about Keith Relf and man we lost a good one there . I loved his harp playing . I think it was his strongest skill . Think of Keith next time you want to stick your fingers in a plugged in amp . Be careful . If you sell your soul you probably won't have so may problems . I refer you to route 66 . Lol

Wow. Cables, tubes/sockets, batteries, splitters, micing an amp, hair, losing temper...you didn't mention any issues with reeds, so that's good, right? What a trip.
