Yet another accidental finding. Recently during one of our bi-monthly trips to the Olde Town Antique Mall, we came across this gem. It caught Benway's eye because of the large, odd looking bass harmonica one of the guys on the cover was holding up to his mouth. Something about it reminded me of the Three Suns, so I was interested too. It ended up being a more than worthy $2 gamble.
The Philharmonica Trio includes three of the worlds greatest Harmonica players. Joe and Charles Pitello, and Harry Halicki. The three were formally in a larger Harmonica groups simply called "the Philharmonicas", who apparently had grown to have a bit more sucess. Once the rest of the members moved on, they seemed to fade into obscurity, as this is their only album.
Unfortunately, we don't have a scanner ast the moment, and could not find any pictures of this album! However I did find a few references to the Philharmonicas, including this amazing clip on youtube...
If that doesn't sell you on this group, nothing will!!
Get your Harmonica MADNESS here!
