A Harmonica Salute to Reese Black Germany

Today at 5 p.m., the Beachland Ballroom will celebrate and remember the life and times of Reese Black Germany, a popular local harmonica player who passed away last year at age 64. Local harp players as well as the bands that Reese shared the stage with will be on hand. Acts such as Blues Chronicles, Black & Coe, Nothing Fancy and Blues on Fire are slated to perform at the tribute, a Cleveland Blues Society event held in conjunction with the nonprofit Cleveland Rocks: Past, Present and Future.
