Wasn't too sure where to post this, but I figured this section probably suited best. I have been playing harp on/off for a bit, and decided to get back into it while indulging in my second passion, steel bending!

This is just for a laugh, so I hope you guys enjoy. :lol:

:lol: Time is unfortunately something I have very little of. This is precisely why I stopped playing the harp for so long. My office manager bought me a cheap amp she found at a yard sale for $10 and so for that reason I started to dabble with the harmonica again.

The steel bending is something I really enjoy, because it is a great workout and I need to capitalize on the time thing. For some odd reason, I just decided to bend some steel and play the blues at the same time, and this is how this video was spawned. :lol:

Thanks for watching!

Hello, Strongmanblues.

That was a fun vid.

You might try to bend steel, while playing a Seydel 1847 steel-reed harp, playing blues bends. It would be a great ad for Seydel.

Just a suggestion.

Best regards
