An interesting contrast is the one harmonica recording on the site. One of the fiddlers whose style I allude to plays harmonica with a big mouthful of notes all going at once, all the time, such that an uninitiated listener would have a hard time picking out the actual melody line. This too is a typical rural Canadian style - why such a difference between the fiddle and harmonica styles, even as given by the same player? Well, there has never been a big harmonica star equivalent to Don Messer on the fiddle, to model a clean, refined style, so harmonica-players just carried on as they had always done.
