      Certainly one of the greats of his generation. He pointed out he's stood on the shoulders of those that came before. Charlie McCoy has said that Little Walter, Sonny Terry & Sonny Boy Williamson II (King Biscuit Flower Hour) influenced him as well.

    After more than 60 years playing guitar (and in bars like Buddy described) my fingers just won't work anymore. My daughter (a very talented musician) said why don't you try the harmonica? I did, about 3 weeks ago, and I love it. I just played Buddy's Carnagie Hall performance and said "I want that". Ok I know that's not real but I've been working on this damn thing for a few week and I think I have another career out there, if I live another 30 or forty years.

    How could you not luuuuuuuv!! Buddddeee!.Greeeeeeeeene!😊😊I love Buddy w Bill Gaither at Carnegie Hall when Buddy tells Bill Gaither "I've been waiting for this moment all my life! I need you to stand back a little..." Then plays "Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring"...Buddy needs to train about 5,000 new Grade School and Tweens and Teens how to play Harmonica!! What Buddy Greene does IS ON A WHOLE NOTHER NIVEL...LEVEL!! He's like the guys in the 1980's playing video games on a computer who have maxed out the capacity of the Commodore 64 or Apple 2E...with a 1541 5.25" floppy disk and a joy stick...and the computer is going bonkers...not knowing how to challenge the player any further!!😊😊😊😊

    Buddy Greene is easily in the top 5 Best HARMONICA players in the World...In my opinion, Buddy is the world's # 1 (One!) Best Player by several standards of SKILL and TALENT: 1. Best Public Performer 2. Super Polite, Courteous, Friendly and Good With Public Audiences 3. Buddy Greene LOVES JESUS CHRIST and plays with Bill and Gloria Gaither. My favorite songs are: (a.) Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring (b.) What Can Wash Away My Sin and many others...I am a HARMONICA player also. I play a Hohner. I play over 400 of the 600 Most Popular Christian Hymns by ear. My Harmonica has two keys "G" and "C" on opposite sides of the instrument.

    I play the harmonica, and to be honest, i think I'm pretty good, I do practice, and mainly I play by ear.. Now i have a problem. When i hear professionals play, many of them play all the time with a growl. Do you know what I mean by a growl? And some songs shouldn't be played this way. Now it depends on the song and the style in which it's played. For example: Amazing Grace. Now this song can be played in different ways., In a bluesy style and straight. But let's say you're playing a song like: You are My Sunshine: Now no matter how it's played, I feel it sounds much better without the growl.. Does any oneunderstand what I mean? And if you do, do you agree?

I'm a multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter but started off as a Blues harmonica player going on to Blue Grass, Rock, Funk, Latin and Reggae. I still blow harp but never managed to achieve the kind chops of a Buddy Greene. I've listened to him so many times over the years yet he always blows me away, captivates my mind and steals the heart. He's a Giant and beautiful soul. Go well.
