Jul 26, 2008 - A rabbi goes into a ten-day fast never leaving the synagogue. At the end of that time he sees a vision and believes that he is speaking directly to God."God, only you can help me in my terrible predicament. My son is about to turn Christian."And God says, "Your son!"-- Larry Adler joke

Jul 26, 2008 - Larry Adler playing Genevieve is probably as good as mouth-organ playing will ever get.He was simply the best.And I have heard most of the rest.

Jul 26, 2008 - Astounding! There is a hint that the sound track was recorded first, but let not that detract from this wonderful performance.

Jul 26, 2008 - Very nice. But those finger movements are hilarious. Especially as he's miming.

noyna9 Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - He may be miming on this video but it is him playing and that is how he actually did play live so what you are seeing is what you got and remember he was a showman trying to spread the popularity of the humble mouth organ around the world which he did.He was a genious and don,t anybody ever forget that.
