A Boost

The Harmonica Club of Gujarat received a boost from the live talk show on the Radio Mirchi last Monday. There have been queries from more than a dozen mouth organ players from the city showing interest in the activities of the club. Coordinator, Tapan Bhatt, has received requests from various social organizations to arrange for a public performance of the club members.

The Gujarat initiative seems to have inspired mouth organ players from cities outside the state to start similar activities. While searching for bloggers who have listed harmonica as their hobby, I came across over 500 people who play this cute little musical instrument.

I have been talking to some of the club members about the need to share our experiences on the blog. One can understand that not all members feel comfortable putting down their thoughts in writing. Let them tell their stories to those who can then write them down for the blog.
