Biography
- George Heaps-Nelson was born on 4 January 1946 in Cherokee, Iowa.1
- He graduated from Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois, with highest distinction.1
- He graduated from University of Florida with a MA and PhD in Latin American History.1
- He was employed by Emmanuel County Junior College as an assistant professor of history since 1976.1
- He was a well-known authority on folk music and was an accomplished guitarist, violinist and harmonica player.1
Misc_Heaps_Nelson_George George wrote a book with Barbara McClintock Koehler : You Can Teach Yourself Harmonica.
(The publication date is 1989 - it must be another edition.)2
One day in the marble playing season of 1956, April probably, possibly May, my grandfather gave me a dollar. After finding the necessary tax pennies in my 'junk drawer' I set out with my older brother Dave to get a harmonica. There was no music store in my hometown so we went downtown to the drugstore where I bought the only Hohner one dollar could buy, a Vest Pocket Harp in C. I learned to play Oh Susanna, The Old Grey Mare, and My Old Kentucky Home in the next few weeks and was perfectly happy playing those three songs for the next several years. Later when I began to take a stronger interest in the music of my area, I would pick up a tune from one player, a tongue technique from another, and a flourish from a third. I continue to believe that this type of learning experience is very important for anyone who wants to play folk music. I also believe however that a more systematic and rapid approach is possible and I sincerely hope that this book will help to provide it. Enjoy yourself. Play what you like, skip what you don't, and take everyone, including me, with a grain of salt. Good luck, and may your stuck reeds be few and far between
