Have you ever wondered about the connection between one of Germany's famous instruments, the harmonica, and Southern Blues?
Travel the surprising trail of this humble instrument and African-America Blues culture on Friday, Nov. 16 at 6 pm at the GAHM. German Consul General Herbert Quelle will be visiting us from Chicago where he directs the Consulate to talk about a little known piece of musical history, which he discussed in his book "Monika's Blues: On the Trail of the German Harmonica and African‑American Blues".  Visitors are in for a special treat, as Mr. Quelle, who is a passionate and talented musician, will also perform some musical samples.
Signed copies of his book will be available for purchase for $20 each.
Light refreshments are included.
