2010 Guinness World Records (Book) "Fastest Harmonica Player
December 8, 2008
After five years I finally made it into the "Ten Year Anniversary Book" cool! If you come across one of these older editions I have my first GWR book credit on page 197.
Now, going into my seventh year of holding the record Iım seriously surprised I still have it. This was the first wind instrument speed record so it took a lot of research plus 400 takes and three trips to the studio.
After four years of experimenting and E-mailing back and forth with Guinness the fateful day came unexpectedly when they informed me I had established the record.
Itıs all about determination and people saying "Your wasting your time" that motivated me. Several years before I was on the road playing the harmonica for hours while driving thousands of miles from one gig to the next, week in week out, year after year thinking 'someday, this is going to pay off.'
