Recorded at the Buckeye State Harmonica Club's 2008 Harmonica Festival
Tony Bennett is one of my all time favorite singers but if Tony would have played harmonica instead of singing, he would've been Sandy German.

Sandy's music has that Bennett style. Accompanied by 2007's Recipient of the "St. Louis Arts Award for Excellence in the Arts," and the Riverfront Times 2008 "Best Jazz Artist Award" pianist and composer Carolbeth True on keyboard, and International Recording and Touring Artist, Bassist Doug Richeson .

Both Sandy and Doug have played and recorded with Tony Bennett. "Watch What Happens" composed by Michel Legrand. Video recorded by Danny G and Valerie Peterman and produced by Danny G at www.NewHarmonica.com
