      <description>&lt;h1 id=&#34;beginner-harmonica-practice-exercises&#34;&gt;Beginner Harmonica Practice Exercises&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Way back in around 2008 I wrote up a doc with a list of beginner harp exercises and practice riffs, at the time it was uploaded to a few forums and a shared Google doc - both have since disappeared. To this day I still get regular emails asking for a copy of it so I thought I&amp;rsquo;d copy it to a post here.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note: I haven&amp;rsquo;t updated these since around 2011.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Here are my top album pics for 2017 (in no particular order)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Note: This is by no means an exhaustive list, it&amp;rsquo;s just the top albums that really stood out to me and in all fairness, I&amp;rsquo;ve thought of several others since so there may be a follow up post (or two).&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As a bonus, a short film was released with the album:&lt;/p&gt;
