Stereo Embers The Podcast 0024: Magic Dick (The J. Geils Band)
from Stereo Embers: The Podcast · host Alex Green Online
Magic Dick Has Epiphanies Every Day Even though he’s considered to be one of the greatest living practitioners of the harmonica, Magic Dick never stops practicing. As a result of his tireless work ethic, the Connecticut-born musician tells Alex he has two to three epiphanies every day. A few years ago the former J. Geils Band member teamed up with guitar virtuoso Shun Ng and the two formed an acoustic duo. Creatively inspired by Ng, Dick found that he had a lot more to say on the harmonica. In a revealing and focused conversation, Dick talks to Alex about forsaking a career in science, not picking up the harmonica until college and why Bob Dylan is so special. He also gives advice to young musicians and explains why after five decades in music, he’s at the height of his powers.
