Christopher Halverson performs “Rockcreek/Grantsville” at R.T. Quinlan’s Saloon during an open mic on Sept. 16, 1995. The video closes with a clip of Frank Nichols blowing his jaw blues harp.
FHI – he is not blowing a jaw harp – that is definitely a harmonica. A jaw harp looks like the attached photo.
Thesaurus.com lists “jaw harp” as a synonym for harmonica, but you’re right. Jaw harp isn’t really correct. Shall we say “blues harp”?
