A blues singer belts it out at last weekend's festival. You might wonder if his hands were cold but that wasn't possible. I think we've had 11 days with record high temperature so far in 2012, including Sunday when these were taken.
So what is with his hands? He is playing a small harmonica. usually known as a blues harp in this context. The players bend and twist the notes like hot oil. Here's a great example, played by Paul Butterfield. The crowd loved it but evidently the fashion police had not arrived by the time I took these.

Exellent "harp" shots.
I'm always amazed at how... ummm undressed people get in the USA...
My brother played a blues harmonica at my son's wedding last November. People loved it.
I am surprised by Ceil's comment above about the lack of dress in the USA. Has she not been to a French beach?
absolutely love that top shot.
Wonderful B&W portrait shots Bob,he has a very strong face, looooved the music! Looking forward to seeing Le Arch tomorrow!!
Nice to hear about the warm weather. Some nice shots here, I especially like the B&W photo.
I can almost hear the notes he is working so hard to shape. Well done.
He's definitely got the whole package. Great photography.
OH the top one rocks!!!
