lyrics
Harmonica Man
Harmonica man, harmonica man
I hear ya every morning, I see you in your van
I hear ya playing to the children
I see ya playing on the street
Say harmonica man, I really dig your beat
Harmonica man, harmonica man
Love the sound your making
Lord I really wanna dance
Makes me me wanna start shaking
Doing gestures with my hands
I really love your music, harmonica man
Cats like you keep bringing in the joy
Playing music in the morning sun
You lift our hearts and the spirit of the street
With a little tiny harp that’s all
Hear the coins go clink as ya wind the punters up
Get the old folks dancing along
Vibing out the honey of the bluesmen yeah!
With a thousand beautiful songs
Ba ba ba ba ba! Ba ba ba ba ba!
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba! Ba ba ba ba ba!

from Howdy Honcho,
released August 1, 2021
Harmonica man, harmonica man
I really dig your music, really dig your plan
I hear ya playing to the children
Hear ya vamping on the street
Harmonica man, I really dig your beat
Spider McKenzie, your’e the coolest on the street
Guillemot Days whisks us to a glistening shoreline, awash with 10 sublime songs full of serene hope. Compelling right from the buoyant opener Edge Of The World and Butterfly overflows with soaring, twangy sunshine. For a fave, so close with the lush vocals, melodic layers of Flowers Of Hope versus Peace And Plenty: an intriguing, modern parlour song both eerie and exquisite, voices and clarinet blending into something quite special. This album is a musical lighthouse on a dark day. Unmissable. anitajoyce
What a tribute, I haven’t the words to say how this group have been the soundtrack to my life, through good and bad.
Anything that helps is the least I can do, missed dearly. Joe Zux
John Drumbo French from Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band worked with Thompson on two albums along with Fred Frith and Henry Kaiser.
Those two French, Frith, Kaiser and Thompson albums led me to this.
Also, Richard Thompson taught Hugh Cornwell (of The Stranglers) how to play the bass guitar in a band when they were both at the same school (Emil and The Detectives?).
With a career spanning 50 years and playing with two of my heroes (French and Cornwell) Thompson has produced a fascinating EP. yellowcakeuf6

Swill's Sunday night Facebook live gigs have been a rare high point in a terrible year. A superb singer and songwriter, in fine voice and the guitars sounding gorgeous. A great collection of some fine moments and some TMTCH tracks rarely heard live for years.
