Roy Buchanan's "Nancy" - necking with a guitar

I got a call from Roy's nephew the other day, after he bought my DVD. He has posted some cool video about Roy here and here.

If you want a little taste of the DVD – a try before you buy, if you will – just go here.

Thanks for the tip o the hat. When I interviewed Marty Scorsese last year in the Hollywood Reporter, he was all about paying tribute to Roy (and Roy's protege Robbie Robertson) when he used "Sweet Dreams" for the soundtrack of "The Departed," that little old movie he made in Boston with Jack and Leo ...

How to Order Roy Buchanan Telly Talk DVD

In June of 1982, I was privileged to interview and record the Master of the Telecaster in a Master Class setting, a demonstration of his licks and tricks for players. Roy Buchanan was the sweetest man I had ever met – somewhat shy at the outset, but then he warmed to the situation and began to noodle around on a vintage Telecaster, showing off some badass playing and answering my questions about music and guitar lore.

KiddieBop harmonicas for "Doctor Noe" the G's Outschool Class

Keep watching this space, my harmonica workshop coming soon: “KiddieBop Harmonica Circle” ... as adapted from my Mission Harmonica Circle™ workshop.

The basics of playing the harmonica using popular tunes such as "Amazing Grace," the Beatles' "Love Me Do," "This Land Is Your Land." You will learn to express yourself on this simple instrument which is tons of fun, therapeutic, promotes great breathing techniques and is socially a crowd-pleaser.

For two years I taught a harmonica workshop for the City of Mission Viejo's Cultural Affairs department. See below, one of the courses in my Mission Harmonica Circle™ (Making Your World Better With Music ... and Harmonicas!), which I describe as a drum circle with harmonicas.

KiddieBop harmonicas

These KiddieBop harmonicas will be available before taking my course ($10 via PayPal to PayPal.Me/NoeGold/10) at my blog:

DoctorNoemedia.blogspot.com.

Course title: KiddieBop Harmonica Circle

Description: Ages 8 - 13 & 11 - 16

A weekly workshop for kids in the basics of playing the harmonica, using popular tunes such as "Amazing Grace," the Beatles' "Love Me Do," "This Land Is Your Land" and fun novelty tunes by Woody Guthrie, Doctor Demento and Jack Elliott in a communal "call and response" format, with audio-visual cues that teach a little bit about the social currents that are associated with the harmonica – the Civil War, the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression. We will also understand the notes and keys on the harmonica and the basics of playing along with a guitar or piano.

The class will be fun and playful in nature and by the end of the session kids will be total harmonicats and kitties.

“Doctor Noe” Gold, Headmaster of the College of Musical Knowledge and Mission Harmonica Circle™, is setting up a home-school music site using the harmonica as the benign yardstick on the international Outschool.com platform.

Stay tuned to my Mission Harmonica Circle™ FB page for details and leave me ideas of classes and how to get the word out.
