I'm going to buy a harmonica (for playing Bob Dylan songs and the like), and I'm wondering which one I should get. The Hohner Marine Band 364 is $10 more than the Lee Oskar, but is it that much better?
Not better, just different. Lee Oskars tend to have a brighter sound than the Marine Band. I'd lean towards a Marine band if you were doing a lot of blues but a Lee Oskar would certainly fit some folksy Dylan stuff. Also, I've never had any issues...

Heck, the pros use the Lee Oskar. The LO and the Hohner Special 20 are the workhorses of the business. If you know you're serious, that's a great place to start. You won't have to replace it with a good one later.
I'm looking to buy a harmonica and the two best brands i have seen seem to bee Lee Oskar and Hohner. I have never played harmonica before, so i will be learning. Which brand would you recomend for a beginer? Or if you have other brand suggestions...
All the Hohner hand mades sound somewhat alike. The reeds are the same on the Marine Band, the Special 20, and the Golden Melody. If you are slick and can tune and repair a harmonica without problems then the Marine Band should be OK. It is put...
Walter Hawkins, Grammy Award-winning gospel artist, dies at 61
An ordained bishop in the Church of God in Christ denomination, he won a Grammy Award in 1980 for his performance of "The Lord's Prayer." He made recordings with artists as varied as Irish singer Van Morrison and Danish harmonica player Lee Oskar, and his compositions were covered by musicians including soul singer Aretha Franklin and American Idol winner Ruben Studdard.
Bishop Hawkins was a member of one of modern gospel's leading families, which in the 1960s created a sound that reached beyond church walls onto the radio and into secular concert venues.
The Hawkins family often performed in bellbottoms and loud colors, using drums, guitars and unbridled emotion to kindle an interest in gospel music among a wider audience, especially young people.
Their single " Oh Happy Day ," an 18th-century hymn arranged by Bishop Hawkins' brother Edwin, became the first gospel song to climb the mainstream charts and won Edwin a Grammy Award in 1970 for best soul gospel performance. In the early 1970s, Bishop Hawkins emerged from his brother's shadow to found the Love Center Church in their home town, Oakland, Calif.
