We address the “Magic Dick” phenonium. What is it exactly? Well, a person with it likes to think there is something so “Special” about their unit or about themselves that they feel they have a magic wand! Usually, these guys are so arrogant that any magic it may have is overshadowed by the fact that they not really someone anyone wants to be around.   A woman that thinks this guy has a “Magic Dick” is usually overlooking the fact that it is not the Dick it is the moment in which you shared.  We discuss this and try to determine if there is a “Magic Dick” or is another Big Foot siting? 

Checking in on our Radio Fam: Listener Gayle calls in to start off this hour, Magic Dick, and the best acoustic guitarists!

Magic Dick, (Richard Salwitz) plays harmonica for the J. Geils Band. Salwitz was born in New London, Connecticut. He attended Worcester Polytechnic Institute, in Worcester, Massachusetts, where he met John "J." Geils and Danny Klein and became a founding member of the J. Geils Band in 1965. Salwitz's harmonica playing became a major and distinctive element in the J. Geils Band's sound during their hard-rocking 1970s heyday. His performance of "Whammer Jammer" on the band's live album Full Househas been particularly noted. In The Rolling Stone Record Guide (1979), music critic Dave Marsh described Salwitz as possibly "the best white musician to ever play blues harmonica." He was often referred to as "Magic Dick and his Lickin' Stick". Mark Hummel Patreon Accidental Productions https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOOnWFbj8SGiV34ixhO0Cwg

Magic Dick joins me on episode 50.Magic Dick created one of the all time classic harmonica instrumentals in Whammer Jammer. But his long career has produced so many more highlights than just that.He started playing trumpet at age 9, and this instrument along with his love of jazz and rock and roll shaped his approach on harmonica.He was a founder member of the J Geils Band, who had great commercial success for over 15 years. Magic Dick was  an integral part of their sound with his harmonica work central to their output of Rhythm & Blues, Rock, Pop and Soul.After the J Geils band split in 1985 he took a break from playing before coming back with some session playing and then forming the band Bluestime with J Geils. More recently he has performed in an acoustic duo with Shun Ng.Links:Magic Dick's website:https://www.magicdick.com/Email Magic Dick for lessons:magicdick@magicdick.comLine 6 HX Stomp pedal:https://uk.line6.com/hx-stomp/Videos:Southern Crossing with band Full Circle:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEayO6DUn74Whammer Jammer with Shun Ng:https://youtu.be/QRygCpiW7mYSo What on Chromatic with Shun Ng:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtM9UGfwLm0Papa's Got A Brand New Bag with Shun Ng:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxAZ3YyjtPgDonations: If you want to make a voluntary donation to help support the running costs of the podcast then please use this link:https://paypal.me/harmonicahappyhour?locale.x=en_GBAlso check out the Spotify Playlist, which contains many of the songs discussed in the podcast:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5QC6RF2VTfs4iPuasJBqwT?si=M-j3IkiISeefhR7ybm9qIQ

Welcome to Tomlin’s Harmonica Podcast. This is the place to be for a variety of harmonica-related content including interviews, lessons and discussions about all aspects of harmonica playing. This podcast is brought to you by the Tomlin Harmonica School where I provide a step-by-step curriculum for Beginners to Advanced Intermediate players as well as personalised feedback and all the resources you need to get better at Blues harmonica.  This week’s podcast is part of a series where I’ll be interviewing Beginners rather than pros. Today’s guest is John who made the decision to pick up harmonica when he retired last year.Show notes John’s recommendation- Magic Dick and J Geils Band “Full House”, “Blow Your Face Out”

On today's episode of Ask Nick we dive right in with a caller who wants to know: when should you intervene in a friend's toxic relationship and how involved should you get? We then speak to someone who’s boyfriend continually emotionally cheats on her and instead of asking herself, "is the relationship good for me?" is asking how to forgive him. Finances, effective communication, and everyday chores are the issues we face with a woman who feels like her partner is not giving as much as she does. And finally we have a caller that is dating her friend's brother- again- and it did not go well the first time. So how does she tell her friend now that it is happening again? “Time served is not a reason to be in a relationship.”  THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS:HIDRATE SPARK: http://www.hidratespark.com/viall to get FREE U.S. shipping RELIEF BAND: http://www.reliefband.com and use promo code VIALL to receive 20% off RITUAL: http://www.ritual.com/VIALL  for 10% off during your first three months LIQUID IV: http://www.liquidiv.com and use code: VIALL to get 25% off BEST FIENDS: http://www.bestfiends.com Please go to https://pca.eonline.com/pop-culture/the-pop-podcast-of-2020 and nominate The Viall Files for The E People's Choice Awards for favorite podcast Episode Socials:   Viall Files @viallfiles Nick Viall @nickviall See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This tenth studio album by The J. Geils Band would be a departure from their blues rock and mainstream pieces for which they were known in the 70's, and would be their most commercially successful.  Freeze Frame took The J. Geils Band from a regional band to international stardom. The band consisted of John (J.) Geils on guitar, Seth Justman on keyboards, Stephen Bladd on drums, Danny Klein on bass, Peter Wolf on lead vocals, and Richard Salwitz (aka Magic Dick) on harmonica, trumpet, and saxophone.  The album was arranged and produced by keyboardist Seth Justman, and all songs were either written or co-written by Justman.Part funk, part new wave, Freeze Frame has the band teetering on the experimental edge.  Unfortunately the band would not be able to hold up.  Front man Peter Wolf left in 1983 because “they wanted to continue in a pop-techno way.  It wasn't my thing.” (per Wikipedia).  They would record one more album with Seth Justman on lead vocals, then disband in 1985.There are a lot of hits off this album, and most of the songs will transport you back to a period in the early 80's where MTV was just beginning to “Take Off.”Join us now before your blood runs cold, and your memory has just been sold! Freeze FramePeter Wolf and Seth Justman wrote this one, and it is the lead song off the album.  A freeze frame is a still image taken from a video, and the song uses a number of photography and film terms to tell the story of an obsession with a girl.  “test trip, proof sheet love is hard to find.”Rage in the CageThis one was not released as a single, but it still got air play, and you may remember the driving harmonica jam.  It tells the story of a guy who gets laid off, feels trapped in his town, and only finds relief in his transistor radio.  “It don't take a PhD to know I'm goin' nowhere fast.  I've got to move - I'm on the move.  It don't take much to see this town is livin' in the past.  They all just seem to wanna tie me down.  Let me hear that radio!”FlamethrowerThis song was the B-side to “Freeze Frame.”  It didn't hit the top 40, but it made it to #25 on the R&B charts.  The song is about a woman who punches the clock in a blue collar job and cuts loose at night.CenterfoldThis is the big hit off the album, and the track that changed The J. Geils band seemingly overnight.  The bad had been a pretty big thing in Boston and Detroit, but they landed on the cover of Rolling Stone Magazine, and on an opening slot touring with The Rolling Stones after this song came out. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:“Arthurs Theme” by Christopher CrossDudley Moore's comedy film “Arthur” was in the cinemas at this time. STAFF PICKS:“My Girl (Gone, Gone, Gone)” by ChilliwackRob brings us the first top 40 US  hit by a Canadian rock band named after the sixth largest city in British Columbia!  Front man and lead guitarist Bill Henderson said they took the name even though none of the band members were from that city.  They liked the way the name sounded like a First Nation word, which fit with the sound that the band was striving to achieve.“Trouble” by Lindsey BuckinghamBrian's staff pick comes from the Fleetwood Mac guitarist and singer's debut solo album, "Law and Order."  Mick Fleetwood contributes to this album on the drums, though Buckingham decided to loop a handful of measures of the drums throughout the song.  Though it was a departure from Fleetwood Mac, you still have the feel of that group.  “I'll Fall In Love Again” by Sammy HagarWayne's staff pick features the Red Rocker after his Montrose days, and prior to his time in Van Halen.  This song chronicles a man moving on from a broken relationship.  "It's alright with me now, I'll get back up somehow.  And with a little luck, I'm bound to win - I'll fall in love again."“Tora, Tora, Tora (Out with the Boys)” by Rod StewartBruce finishes off our staff picks with this 6th single from Rod Stewart's eleventh studio album,“Tonight I'm Yours.” Stewart makes a return to rock after his departure to disco in the late 70's.  "I wanna talk about motorbikes, cars and things.  No sophistication or designer jeans.  I'm no angel, but I know what I like - a little rough and tumble on a Friday night." COMEDY TRACK:“Take Off” by Bob and Doug McKinseyGeddy Lee lends his vocal talents to this track from SCTV's sketch comedians from the Great White North, played by Dave Thomas and Rick Moranis.

As a result of his tireless work ethic, the Connecticut-born musician tells Alex he has two to threeepiphanies 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. Ina 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.
