And television, well television brought us American Idol.       American Idol is a singing competition series that first aired in 2002.

The Alchemy of Music with Mickey Raphael Harmonica Phenom

Posted by | May 16, 2018 |

Photos by Danny Clinch and Jack Spencer There is an alchemy in music. A special combination of the right people, at the right time, with the right goods. A little of this, a pinch of that- it’s like watching grandma cook. She never uses a recipe or measuring cups and yet the alchemy is always spot on. That’s the good stuff. The stuff people remember. The stuff that lasts. When you stop and think about the alchemy of music, think about a song like God Only Knows by the Beach Boys. Brian Wilson used a bunch of unorthodox instruments...
