HELLO,
This is Marc S. Silber in Berkeley, California.

Will Scarlett is on a few of my CDs, and has played some outstanding and original Harmonica.

My favorite is a song I made up myself called "BLUES CAME DOWN LIKE A MIDNIGHT SHOWER OF RAIN".
I have played this song many times with Will over a thirty year period, but the night we recorded it Live at Strings well, he was just special. He rather ranged from Jug Band/Blues to sort of Ornette Coleman including the exotic intonations, AND ALL ON THE SAME TUNE!

You can hear me, Marc S. Silber, sing and play a few songs on my website www.marcsilbermusic.com
My 5 CDs are also available on my website.

I also still deal in older banjos, guitars, and mandolins (musical instruments) as I have since 1963.

PEACE, MARC S.SILBER
