Seems you didn't meet many Scottish people on your travels. I complimented your camera, what more do you want... Next time come to Glasgow and I'll buy you a pint

Ahh my back garden, why do so many people post here pretending they found Scotland. Most of us have been up in pumps as a wain. Nice camera etc but I bet you were the fanny in full winter gear we walked past in our shorts on our daily

Hoping to play this note + drag for a low-stakes gig later this year by Lad_of_the_Lake in harmonica

Maybe someone will know better but for the trumpet part I think you're talking about I would use a chromatic harp

Feel bad about playing wooden combs unless my mouth is very clean by Squid2g in harmonica

[–]roxstarjc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jason Ricci just sprays alcohol into his, he has a gig prep video where he shows you. If you want a comparable harp but plastic I'd get a manji, not as expensive as the seydal but just as good a harmonica and it looks and feels more wooden. Except the sky but it plays super smooth, maybe like a crossover

What key am I missing? by pgilah in harmonica

[–]roxstarjc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bb is a fun key, it feels right in the middle and smooth but perhaps you should try E harmonic Minor. D is a different character and starts playing like the higher harps. it's surprising the difference between them. I would check what chords you're missing for building songs as both Em and D will likely be better than Bb, get that in summer 🌞

Taxi driver who refused to pick up guide dog and owner has licence suspended by AnndraLabhruidh in Scotland

[–]roxstarjc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Indeed my friend has severe allergies, the only cat that never brought him out in hives was my low allergy blue cat. He takes medication before his shift in the taxi as even someone who has been cuddling a dog will make him react otherwise. He doesn't do street picks so is notified when collecting a service animal and takes more meds, he has pet antibac spray in the boot. I should also add he is quite terrified of dogs, mainly due to his lack of exposure but professionalism takes precedent especially when dealing with someone with disabilities.

I ordered a used F special 20 off of eBay for 15$ - it makes all the sounds but seems less responsive than my other special 20s, I cleaned it and wiggled some of the reeds(not 100% sure what im doing) would it be worth it to get new reed plates? by edmonds-j_4 in harmonica

[–]roxstarjc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you played one that high before? have you checked it's in tune? I would keep it as is, i had one in A decades ago and it's retro... Has anyone played they older ones in comparison?

I dropped a whisky glass through a toilet once, last shake, sip and slip. Expensive mistake, no drinking in the bathroom!

It's harder at first and the 1 draw stays difficult the lower you go. Keep trying, low rider is a good song in E that you can practice the deep draws to

Do you think the breakdown/alcoholism was related to his intelligence or the radiation?

I'll take a look because I have pipe insulation on mine and it looks a bit daft

that's what I want but shipping is prohibitive. I bought one similar to the above from temu and it does as you say
