Neil Barnes is Making a Scene
Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Neil Barnes!
I owe 99% of how I learned to play from Gary Smith, the Godfather of the South Bay Area blues scene. Gary took the time to show me the how-to's and the don't-do's of the Blues harmonica, along with the approach to the music I love.
I also spent a lot of time going to see Charlie Musselwhite everywhere he played in the Bay Area. I finally got the nerve to ask him for a private lesson (I really was wrapped around the axle on third position) and imagine my surprise when he said “yes” and showed up at my parent’s house. Charlie patiently played guitar to my caterwauling harp until those 3rd position mechanics started to sync in. I'm forever grateful for that time with one of my true heroes. Charlie continues to inspire me to this day.
