Will Galison joins me on episode 38. Will first picked up the chromatic harmonica when studying guitar at the Berklee College of Music.  He quickly realised he had an affinity with the instrument, and after spending a day with Toots Thielemans he knew the chromatic instrument was what he wanted to do. Will went on to record numerous albums under his own name, including a successful collaboration with Madeleine Peyroux. He has been an in-demand session player for numerous years, with credits performing with the likes of Barbara Streisand, Carly Simon, Donald Fagen and many others. On top of all this he has recorded a version of the Sesame Street theme tune used on the TV show. With interests ranging from jazz, to pop and classical, as well as playing some mean diatonic, Will really delivers a pocketful of soul.Links:Will's website: https://www.willgalison.net/Takin It Back With Barack:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJW67YfLWgsOdysseus Fantasy:https://www.willgalison.net/odysseus-concertoBeethoven Spring Sonata:https://www.willgalison.net/beethoven-spring-sonataWill's Soundcloud:https://soundcloud.com/will-galison/Hal Leonard Jazz Standards tutorial:https://www.halleonard.com/product/1335/jazz-standardsHal Leonard Pop Songs tutorial:https://www.halleonard.com/product/1090/pop-classicsHarmonicaUK Virtual Chromatic Weekend: http://harmonica.uk/HUKBlog/chromatic-weekend/Videos:Odyssey:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPC-fh3jyswBeethoven Spring Sonata:https://www.willgalison.net/beethoven-spring-sonataToots Thielemans playing Undecided:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMTmKwosSi8Pocketful of Soul:https://www.willgalison.net/pocket-full-of-soulSkylark with Sean Harness:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KylY3vQv8Y4&t=105sPodcast website:https://www.harmonicahappyhour.comDonations:If you want to make a voluntary donation to help support the running costs of the podcast then please use this link (or visit the podcast website link above):https://paypal.me/harmonicahappyhour?locale.x=en_GBSpotify Playlist: Also check out the Spotify Playlist, which contains most of the songs discussed in the podcast:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5QC6RF2VTfs4iPuasJBqwT?si=M-j3IkiISeefhR7ybm9qIQPodcast sponsors:This podcast is sponsored by SEYDEL harmonicas - visit the oldest harmonica factory in the world at www.seydel1847.com  or on Facebook or Instagram at SEYDEL HARMONICASand Blows Me Away Productions: http://www.blowsmeaway.com/Support the show
