A number of comments made about the previous quizzes suggested they were too damn hard. I tried to make it easier this time. But then again, I can't make it so easy that everyone would be able to identify the players instantly, can I ? So anyway, I avoided the really obscure stuff, the out of print tunes, etc.
Xavier won the previous Quizz and Dapp Theory's CD featuring Grégoire Maret is on its way to him ! For the October quizz I offer the following choice to the winner :
- Nico Wayne Toussaint - Transatlantic Live
- The Mudsliders (feat. Steve Baker) - Spirit's Gonna Rise
- The Mentones (feat. Bill Barrett)- Nowhere Calling
The rules are unchanged and porbably definitive : identify the harmonica players featured in the following excerpts and, if possible, the songs they are playing on.
Xavier, who won this time may not win (although he is
welcome to participate). In addition to naming the artists, multiple correct entries will be split by the following question :
Estimate how many entries (winning or not) Harmonica Ramblings will receive for this October quizz !
What this means is two things : you can take your time answering as long as you meet the deadline, and even if you're pretty sure you don't have all the correct answers, you may still enter since the best overall answer wins, it doesn't have to be perfect.
And finally, here are the four new excerpts for the October Quizz :
- Excerpt n°1 : Download Q3EX1.mp3
- Exceprt n°2 : Download Q3EX2.mp3
- Exceprt n°3 : Download Q3EX3.mp3
- Exceprt n°4 :Download Q3EX4.mp3
The deadlines for your entries is October 31st !

Hi. Try clicking on the links from the quizz and see if your mp3 player reads them. They will play streaming if you do that, which should be fine for the quizz and maybe glitchy for the podcast. If you still can't work it out, email me and we'll try to find a solution !
And you're English is fine !
