well over 50 years ago, fell in love with the harp. There was no one to teach so I used to grab a few of my harmonicas go into the woods and sit there and play. Had my own way of mouthing, but it worked for me. I wish I had the internet back then, there is so much more I could have learned, especially listening to you. Interestingly, here at well, 75+ I still am drawn to want to go into those woods and just let the notes come out. I enjoy your music, I like your smile, when you allow that out. Keep playing, it will inspire the heart of someone.
50+ years ago, I too began pouring my soul through the reeds of a harp. Although solo, alone and untaught, it was the only expression of my heart that was not thrown back at me. Music accompanied my pain too, and still helps in so many ways. Along the way, I discovered beauty. That, and pain opened the door to the gifts of God. It was years before I was able to build love again; to look, to hold another and say "Here, I can and will define beauty." The memory has never gone away. But now, I know; I understand why some people can laugh and freely smile again. I lived with pain deeper than the body can feel, and step by step, I healed until I knew the end was nearly upon me and I feared it not. But then, a surgeon split my chest, reached deep inside, and held my living heart in his hands. Those first days were a Hell I cannot recommend to anybody, but they too, passed. Today, from 93 million miles away, I felt the sun shine on my face; I smiled, and then I laughed for joy. Have you ever walked the edge of a black abyss, a stone's turn from forever falling? Has the sum of your heart's expression ever been a single sob? Have you ever awakened from a refreshing, cleansing sleep, with your heart so full of symphony in all its mighty grandeur, the specific notes and runs a'fading into the distance, to be brought up, unexpected, one beautiful surprising phrase at a time across the years? I heard it again this morning, a few hours ago. Once more, it is good to be alive. I would not deprive my loved ones of that small piece of me that may serve as one of their anchor points, as they face their own abyss. I would not commit the blasphemy of throwing my life back in the face of the God who gave it, and like an ungrateful, petulant child, telling Him that His Gift is insufficient. Please forgive a garrulous Old Man his wanderings; would that I could give you better. And ... Thank You .. for the music.
If only you woke up one day and felt all the love that is truly around you, from all your friends, from all your fans, you would from then on never feel a broken heart. Further, if your destiny is to be a wandering jew loving one, another, another, so be it, and enjoy what the Almighty pitches you taking the best of every day, and every new friend that you find along. Hugs and kisses, and all my heart to you!

Christelle...thank you for sharing your private life with all of us. I'm so sorry there are haters out there. I love all of your videos. I have not found anyone who plays harmonica with such heart as you. One of my favorite videos is when you are driving to the woods and playing the harmonica at the same time. If I knew you in person, I believe we would be beautiful and fun friends. I think you have a beautiful, fragile heart just like your name, heart of crystal.
Christelle te adoro ..tienes un dominio absoluto del instrumento he aprendido mucho de ti..Tus ejecuciones son inmaculadas....Apenas tengo tres años que comencé a practicar con este bello instrumento sin haber tocado nunca algún instrumento. Soy desde muy temprana edad artista plástico y arquitecto.Tengi 78 años y ya estoy haciendo presentaciones musicales...Gracias Christelle a ti te debo la inspiracion... que Dios te bendiga
you may never see this comment..but I was scrolling through UA-cam one night and I heard you play...and I said I'm gonna get me a harp and I did....it made a year this month of October 2020...I have to say I can really play that harp ...thanks a lot ...I really enjoy your harp playing..
Christelle so sad to hear that about you, but at the end of the lived experience there`s no other thing than another chance in your life, and you have music to recover and heal the wounds of your soul. Hugs from argentina Oscar.
A broken heart is the route to a persons soul, that moment that defines your character, for some it brings out the worst but Christelle it really works for you. You really are in a league of your own.
Outstanding talent. Your music is from the heart. You cannot teach someone to play with the feeling you give your music. You either have it, or you don't. You have it. Rudy.
TalkingPoints1, ... Your words are so appropriate to the life that Christellester is living thru her harmonica. Thank you and may chris find the peace she so richly deserves.
you are stronger than you think, you have gone through the pain barrier and on your way back to total realaty, you will meet someone who will love you for what you are, genuine loving, honest, and worth spending there whole life with you, ,ps I play harmonica and I love your music, from an admirer of your talent, alan carson sunderland England,
Russ from Washington State -- Lot's of harmonica players to listen to on You Tube. I keep coming back to you! Driving in the pickup, your playing drifts through my mind as I shift gears and keep practicing (almost one year now!). You are my hero!
Un énorme plaisir à écouter étant musicien je me suis mis à l'harmonica diatonique dans le groupe où je joue , mais mon instrument de base est le saxe ténor et la flûte traversière Bravo Christelle
I'm sorry for your broken heart... you are incredible player, so much emotion in each note... I put my hands togheter for you! God bless you! Clap clap clap from Brazil!
Christell...Una vez mas , te digo , que eres maravillosa . Las penas , pasaran ... Sigue adelante , son muchos los que te quieren y admiran , y yo , tu devoto admirador , porque , de ti , fluye una belleza de ALMA , que se siente y cautiva . Tu sola presencia , parece llenarlo todo y transmites , intensidad de espiritu y nobleza interior . Eres inmensa ...Christelle ...
Christelle it takes time to find a soul mate. We have to dig through the fake people to find the one that was made just for you. You are a beautiful & passionate person which is displayed so wonderfully in your music. You need that same kind of person in your life. God bless & keep playing that harmonica.
oh my. Falling in love can be such a huge gamble sometimes. My heart has been broken several times through the years, but I took a huge breath and went on to other times and places. Australia's loss is France's gain. Touche' ami!
Dear You are world famous harmonica player your playing is so sweet like an sugar its gives an blessing to ear Glad to follow you Im new to harmonica playing You are inspiring
Awful to hear what happened, but heartbreak is something we all have to go through, you're incredibly lovely and talented so I'm sure you'll find someone worth your time.
que bueno que pongas tus videos asi he apredido que con la armonica se puede llegar mas lejos de lo que uno puede imaginarse !!!GRACIAS CHRISTELLE YHANK YOU
I dont know what happened in your life, but so many of us remain great admirers of your harmonica playing. You are able to make a harmonica sound like an entire orchestra. You are without doubt one of the most accomplished players in the world. In terms of romantic heartbreak, I'll just say that while the pain doesnt fully ever go away, it does get better. Life is like standing in the middle of a river: no matter what is around you at that moment, there is always fresh water on the way.
Wondefull
Yeah ! Wonderful!
Du spielst so gefühlvoll super 👍😘
What a remarkable talent this womn has. Truly incredible.
Super👌👌
