Country music harmonica pioneer Dr. Humphrey Bate died on this day in 1936. Bate learned to play the harmonica from the black farm workers where he grew up. He eventually was playing in as many as three bands and introduced Deford Bailey to the producers of The Grand Old Opry.

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