Harpdog Brown shares harp tips

Blues artist Harpdog Brown leads a harmonica workshop at Thomas Walls School of Music on Tuesday. Fifteen participants, from age 14 and up, brought varying amounts of harp experience to the evening session. Brown learned to play by listening to cassettes and albums. He recommends listening to Jimmy Reed and Slim Harpo. “That’s where I started,” said Brown. He initially started playing guitar when he was a child. “I didn’t take well to lessons,” said Brown. &ld
