Fantastic and fun interview with Master Harmonicist Charlie Barath
We talked about his record Just Me and My Friends
Here is what he says on Bandcamp
I put together this specific collection of songs for two reasons: 1. To demonstrate the diversity in my songwriting as well as my Harmonica playing and my Vocals. 2. To shine a spotlight on some of the amazing and talented people that I am fortunate to work with on a regular basis, AND call my friends. I am thrilled to be able to present this music to the listening public, and I truly hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I've enjoyed creating it! My sincere thanks to you!

The William Clarke Story

Thursday Apr 11, 2024

Thursday Apr 11, 2024

Interview with Paul Barry about his book Blowin' Like Hell
From the ghetto clubs of South-Central Los Angeles to International fame, William Clarke will go down as one of the greatest and most innovative blues harmonica players of all time. Clarke's life was marked with much adversity and many challenges. From a tough upbringing to the throes of alcoholism, Clarke persevered through determination and hard work to become a brilliant soulful player, vocalist, songwriter, entertainer and producer. He left behind a rich legacy through the many great albums he produced that have endured the test of time and will continue to do so. He was a harmonica player's harmonica player and should always hold a spot in the heart of all blues musicians and fans.

Nicole and Nedra talking shop

Thursday Jan 04, 2024

We talk about the journey and playing the harmonica being artist and here amazing product line as well as here wonderful original music all for the perspective of a female player. Check out her amazing line of products here https://www.sibblingrivalry.com. 
You can find her on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@jubejams.   
Nicole M. Joubert (Sticky) & Cindy A. Joubert-Kelly (Snidly) have parents who encouraged their strong creative minds & abilities to bloom into unique creative styles. Cindy being the darker of the two, Nicole colorful and lighthearted. They both have endeavors varying from illustrations, paintings, sculptures, and written works. Many of these have been published, contracted or printed.
Outside of SIB.BLING RIVALRY, Nicole's illustrative works is known as: NikkinoxArts  & Cindy: Dreaming Lizard Graphics.
The Sisters collaborated many times but ultimately worked separate. When they were young, they imagined lots, and felt one day they would have a popular T-shirt line like Chip & Pepper  (in the sense of, creative clothing team).
The sisters have made great progress since the 80s. Back then they were known as Joubert Wolf Wear. At this time they painted clothing for local entertainers (Exotic Dancers & Band Members) with acrylic paints.
Through the years the Sisters continue to refined their talents & grow, learning from each other.
BORN FROM CREATIVE UNION
The Sister's Mission is:
To have a large line of quality clothing that is both creative & limited with a steady rotation of newer designs. Each item will list for a short time then retire. Your unique article of clothing will not be mass-produced such as a box store product. These beautiful designs are both wearable & collectible pieces of art.
SR will keep creating exciting, unique designs, alongside those in demand. These epic designs are derived from the girls own passions, which in turn touch fellow hobbyists.
