About Smart Alec Harmonics (Testimonials click here): I believe I play the most enjoyable entertaining harmonica covers ever. People never leave whether it is background music or asked to perform complex pieces. I have excellent tone with some reverb and my tracks  are strong. This is great listening playing to the most popular tunes in the world (see extensive song list below). All great well recognized songs in Folk, Blues, Jazz, Classic Rock, and Popular depending on the venue, usually a mix .  I play with a BMI Pro Licensed approved App. I started harmonica at age 11 at different music schools. I have played at numerous charity events, gigs, senior living, on cruises, in Durham BlueNote, and also backed numerous singers. For my real job I do engineering physics and now climatology.
