Christmas Harmo-Gifts
A few suggestions...

On Hohner's side: the box "Bob Dylan Signature Series", the ultimate collaboration with a legend. Over 150 years of expert skill and the art of Bob Dylan. Generally available in instruments music stores. Information: http://www.hohnerusa.com/bobdylan.html

On I.L.D. Records side: this label is specialized in Harmonica Legends Albums, such as Borrah Minevitch, Claude Garden (http://www.jeanlabre.com/english/article.php?id=4), Jerry Murad, the Raisner Trio (http://www.jeanlabre.com/english/article.php?id=28), the french Hotvill's Trio, etc. An opportunity for all generations to discover or rediscover the deep roots of our harmonica culture. Let's pay tribute to this label for the important place given to our instrument in its catalogue.

If you are interested in french comics publications (for people speaking fluently french) may I suggest you the comic book "Harmonica". The author is Joann Sfar, the publisher "L'Association", @L'Association , a frenzied cocktail of parisian humour.

As far as I am concerned I have a particular weakness for the "Gasoline Alley's" US comics of my friend Jim Scancarelli... Hello Jim !

Good shopping and Merry Christmas to all of you

Jean Labre
