The Bop Shop 5.18.23 - Chris Turner

from: Harmonicas, 1980 and live you tube performances

Born in London in 1950, Chris Turner is ranked 26th on harmonica.com.  That is a travesty. Since he can get any sound he wants out of his array of harps, how can he not be right up at the top?  The reason is that he isn’t well known and the band that featured him in the 80s, The Nee Ningy Band, wasn’t everyone’s cup of volatile tea. He has lived in Rhode Island for many years and the video is from a church in Rumford.

And lest we forget, Chris was founding member and co-mastermind of the epic folk outfit, the Nee Ningy Band. Get Nung!
