A harmonica in Carnegie Hall – The magnificent Buddy Greene will knock your socks off
Oh, jeez, I thought, another video from the irrepressible Joe Peach, who sends me tons of stuff in which I find, from time to time, irresistibly great jewels like this video of one Buddy Greene — whom I'd never heard of before I watched the video — playing harmonica in Carnegie Hall.
It starts off the way I kind of expected it to but then — 2:38 into the video — Greene segues into a version of Rossini's "William Tell Overture" that got my rapt attention and took it to a fantastically joyful place.
A work of art indeed.
Thank you, Joe, and keep the great finds coming.
You've got a home in Pennsylvania... wait a sec, of course you do, I mean, you live there and all — I meant to say a second, spiritual home here in Podunkville.
But I'm sure you understand what I'm trying to get across.

Buddy Greene gave an outstanding performance.
One question: Why is there 2 minutes and 16 seconds of dead air after his performance (the performance ends at 4:37; the video continues to 6:53)?
