Paul Oscher

Paul Oscher's melodica

Another melodica player is Paul Oscher. His Hohner melodica, with pickup, is shown here. Paul got his break from Muddy Waters, who had a gig in New York and his harmonica player failed to make the trip. Oscher got a last minute invite to sit in, and after two songs, Muddy came over to him and asked "Can you travel?"
