Silent Night:

I saw my first Hugh Tracey Kalimba in a Sam Ash music store 
50 YEARS ago and I bugged my sister Wendy to get me

one for my upcoming birthday, and she did. 

I loved it. I use to carry it around with me in a leather pouch 
during my college days. I really loved the tonality even though 
I didn’t know how to play.

50 years ago, the only notable kalimba player was the late Maurice White,
leader of the band… Earth, Wind and Fire, the guy who helped
David Foster when he was getting started.  

Maurice’s kalimba licks were way ahead of his time. 

However, by todays standards with kalimba albums

such as Mark Holdaway, who is, in my humble opinion… 
 
The King of Kalimba… the best I’ve ever heard  
… and I’ve been playing 50 YEARS. 

Mark Holdaway’s music is inspired.

I’ve never met Mark but I’m probably his biggest fan. 
I have all of his CD’s and listened to them a gazillion times. 

I still can’t play as fast or as precise as Mark, even after 50 years. 
He has been touched by the hand of the Universe. 

Best Wishes
