Arthur "Peg Leg Sam" Jackson was born on this day in 1911. Jackson played
in medicine shows and carnivals throughout the South from the 1920's until
his death in the late 1970's. One favorite trick of his was to play two
harmonicas at once, one with his mouth and one with his nose.

Jazz musician Big Clarence Miller was born on this day in 1922. In addition
to singing and playing sax, Miller also doubled on the harmonica.

Blues harmonica ace Rod Piazza was born on this day in 1947. Piazza got
much of his early training by working with George "Harmonica" Smith. Piazza
now releases albums on a frequent basis and tours with his group, "The
Mighty Flyers".

Harp-L-er Timothy Schutte was born on this day in 1948. Happy Birthday
Tim!!!!

Vaudeville harmonica player Sam Scheckter died on this day in 1995. Sam
played the chromatic and chord harmonicas with The Harmonica Harlequins and
The Cappy Barra Harmonica Ensemble during the 1930's and 40's.

That's all I have for today. Have fun and practice.
