Gateway Harmonica Club

"MAMA, I'M COMING HOME", an Ozzy Osbourne original, performed by the Gateway Harmonica Club! 🎶😎

In 2018, our ensemble performed a harmonica-only rendition of "Mama, I'm Coming Home" for Ozzy Osbourne at the AKC Museum of the Dog in St. Louis. The performance was filmed for the A&E show "Ozzy & Jack's World Detour." This event was a memorable highlight from the Gateway Harmonica Club's history.

It was an incredible experience to perform for Ozzy, Jack and Kelly, and Ozzy truly enjoyed our rendition of his song!

The members featured in the practice session included:

- Music Director: Jim Melchers
- Harmony: Julie Melchers, Linda Jacobs, and Tom Sutterfield
- Lead: Mark Olesnicki, Scott Aschinger, and Jay Hotze
- Rhythm: Buddy Hirsch and Jessie Hirsch

It is amazing to see the opportunities that playing the harmonica can provide. What a delightful instrument!

National Harmonica Day celebration continues! 🎶😄⭐️

To honor both the harmonica and our nation's 250th year of independence, our chromatic and diatonic players teamed up for a special performance of "America".

Following our weekly jam session and classes, Gateway Harmonica Club members enjoyed the music, camaraderie, and an ice cream cake to top off the annual celebration.
