Harmonic Heroics

Update: 200801231133

Turns out that I cannae read or I cannae type and have propagated this error across my archive, and now to the Internet at large… Eddy Munson is actually Eddy Manson. The album is still Harmonica and Ping Pong Percussion. You’ll have to change the spelling in your metadata for each file. I’m leaving well enough alone for now because recreating all of the symlinks after changing the file structure of my archive will suck.


Thing have been quiet on the Millionaire’s Holiday front. For Festivus, I received a USB-enabled turntable which has me rabbiting most of my allotted music time digitizing the vast library of schlock I’ve accumulated. This leaves little time for mixing and matching. On the other hand, the quantities of digital music I find myself surrounded in can only lead to good fun, no? In the meantime, I thought I’d share a little goofiness. Despite the album liner notes indicating the legendary prowess of Eddy Munson Manson, there is nothing I’ve been able to find on the Internet to link to. Google and Wikipedia both try to direct me to Eddie Munson. While understandably more famous, if not more talented, that’s not the Eddy we’re looking for.

Nonetheless, Eddy Munson Manson’s Harmonica and Ping Pong Percussion is an album that is chock-a-block with easy listening melody. There is some interesting scoring in a few tracks and this is what makes the album funkular enough for posting.

You can follow the links below to acquire your very own copy of this fine musical offering. Files are encoded in Apple’s “lossless” compression so getting them to work on your machine could prove adventuresome without iTunes installed. If there is hue and cry I’ll transcribe to .wav or something. It’s the file format I’ve settled on for my music archive and it’s easier to symlink into that than manage and store two sets of files if you catch my drift…
