His books on playing  blues harmonica have sold over a million copies.

His Mississippi Delta Blues Harmonica Jam Camps held several times a year in Clarksdale, Mississippi are world-famous.

His act as a single performer, playing harmonica & guitar and singing his songs has opened festivals, and earned standing ovations.

The music you are listening to is from Jon's  highly acclaimed new cd,  produced and accompanied by Ralph Carter.

    Thanks for everything, Jon-- your great communication by email and phone, being so down-to-Earth, your professionalism, your fantastic examples, your experienced explanations and your encouragement.

  • Jon,

    I have used your books to teach others what little I could. I have done your old phone lessons a couple of times and always have enjoyed our time. You certainly are committed to your own music and helping others find theirs. I am happy for past and hope for your continued success.
