Jimbolaya & Tami

.. Hey there. My names Jimbolaya... I play the harmonica. I have a very deep found love for it. Blues and Folk sooth my soul. Iv only been playing for over a year now. Ever since i truly got into the blues and started listening to the blues harp is when my crazy obsession came about. I started playing on a very cheep set of johnson blues harps. Later i picked up the Pro hohner and never touched a cheap harp since. Let me tell you that the harp addiction really dents your wallet fast... But in order for you to keep up a tune you must have the right key with the right sound. (Witch i dont have all off yet) I relized that i have a very open spirtual connection with the harmonica. Its the best way i have found to open my heart and let people hear how i feel at that time. Iv also relized i was a natrual on the harp when i put in some good old Grateful Dead from the Pig Pen days. "It Hurts Me Too" is the song im talking about. Anyways that song came on and when Pig Pen grabs the harp and starts going off, it made my heart cry in a way i couldnt even explain. Only thing i could think of was grabing my harp and playing along. From right there when i realized how good i was keeping up was when i noticed i found my calling for this amazingly small but beautiful sounding insturment. That is when i threw down my drums to move forth. I have figured out what direction i want to take my music in and im doing it........ LOVING IT PEACE and LOVE PORTLAND
