Harpin’ Norm: songwriting with a harmonica

Virtuoso harmonica player and singer-songwriter Harpin’ Norm Lucien joined us to talk about two of his songs and why you need many, many harmonicas, ideally on a Batman-style utility belt. Sherry Jacoby filled in for Neel – thanks Sherry! We talked about:

• how to write simple songs that are also nuanced and have substance
• starting your songs with the chorus or the title
• how to incorporate sing-alongs in your performances
• our How to Approach the Media episode
