by SPAH President Tom Stryker Hi Folks! Wow what a convention it was in St. Louis! I am still recovering and reveling in the excitement of it all. Bill Dulin, Joe Fey and the Gateway Harmonica Club did a marvelous job with all of the location logistics. Thank you so much, Gateway Harmonica Club!
Although a bit crowded in the lobby, having the registration and various booths in one central location really worked out well. The idea of having booths was an instant hit, as was having the Visitors & Convention Bureau for the next convention (Sacramento)
be there. You can be sure that this is how we will proceed in the future. |

Welcome to the SPAH Website. This is where you will find everything harmonica and learn what is going on with SPAH and harmonica vendors. With over 925 members domestically and internationally, SPAH is arguably the largest harmonica society in the world. We are so proud of this and the members who are part of this great movement.
Our membership spans all generations with diverse interests in all music genres and all styles of harmonicas. What matters most is that we all play or enjoy listening to harmonicas.
You can feel the excitement at our annual conventions where we all join for a week long indulgence of our favorite activity of playing harmonica and attending one of our many professional seminars. All of this ends with a gala Saturday evening dinner/show with the best in professional harmonica entertainment. Wow, what a week.
As with any society, new membership is our life blood. We want you to become a member if you are not already one. International harmonica enthusiasts are also invited to join. You will receive your membership card and four issues annually of Harmonica happenings, our premier harmonica magazine. Also, take advantage of the benefits from the various committee activities such as Harmonicas & Health, SPAH Advisory Board and Young @ Harp. Help us perpetuate this fine society by becoming a member today.
Again, welcome to the SPAH Website. Feel free to write to me with any comments or suggestions.

Tom Stryker
