This is my Daddy playing the harmonica – or “mouth organ” (Oooops! Other people call it a “mouth organ”) “french harp” as he calls it. He has played the harmonica ever since I can remember.
I work as administrative support in the Oklahoma State University Art Dept. For the past few years, I have been responsible for finances, paperwork, and other decisions for my parents who lived in Texas. Working now to finalize everything after Father's death in 2012 and Mother's death in 2013. I also keep busy blogging, writing children's books, and occasionally shooting commercials. I live in Oklahoma, USA. I have three wonderful grandchildren. I am a teacher, writer, actor, singer. . . and whatever else I can manage.
Yes, I am blessed. I still have both my Dad and Mom. Staying with my Dad right now while Mom recovers from shoulder replacement surgery in a hospital in Dallas, TX. My sister is with her.
Love this. The harmonica seems to be becoming a lost art. I know you are grateful to have this on video.
Beautiful, Grandawn!
Thank you, Madmom. 🙂
Perfect post for Father’s Day!
He is a wonderful man.
He looks full of life and so happy with his lot…. magic man!
Playing the harmonica is one thing that makes him happy. It’s magic. 🙂
I enjoyed that! The harmonica isn’t easy to play properly at all. I’ve been playing them for over 65 years and still can’t get it quite right!
I’m glad you enjoyed it, colonialist. I love to hear him play.
Morning Grandawn….you are so lucky to still have your Dad….miss mine still and he died in 1987!

He plays very well, and looks very well for a Great Grandfather.
He taught himself to play when he was a boy. I think he does a fantastic job.
You should do more of these….for yourself, your kids and grandkids….What a gift this is and will be. Very sweet.
Yes – trying to do that.
That’s great grandawn; he looks fit as a fiddle 🙂
He does look good for 83.
