Happy 78th Birthday Richard Richard Salwitz Born; May 13, 1945  New London, Connecticut, U.S. noted for playing the harmonica for the J. Geils Band. In addition to the harmonica, Salwitz plays the trumpet (the first instrument he learned) and saxophone. 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 House has 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 (well you know) 😉 After the J. Geils Band dissolved in 1985 Salwitz spent time working on a harmonica design of his own, the “Magic Harmonica” for which he received a patent with co-inventor Pierre Beauregard. Beauregard was the director of the Cambridge Harmonica Orchestra, of which Salwitz was also a member.
