My easy listening country CD
" Frank Bard tells a story with his harmonica. Ranging between country blues and country
western. This guitar slidin', harp wailin' instrumental soul music is easy to listen to,
and hard to forget. A beautiful album for harmonica lovers."
(Jon Gindic, The world's foremost instructor of blues and country harmonica.)
