About 3-4 years ago there was a vendor at the Bean Blossom Blues Fest selling these. It was a Hohner Puck harmonica with a usb connection. I have a puck and it plays ok for a novelty harmonica. I sure wouldn't recommend it for harp to learn on.

Commenting on his Knighthood announcement, Sir Van said, “Throughout my career I have always preferred to let my music speak for me and it is a huge honour to now have that body of work recognised in this way. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the fans who have supported me on my musical journey.” Additionally, Sir Van has received six Grammy Awards, a Brit Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music, been inducted into both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

Wait a minute. A harp with a USB for what purpose?

You can plug that into the usb port and transfer info to it. It'a like one of those stick things you plug into your computer so you can transfer pictures, videos, etc. I don't know what they are called. They combine that with the puck. It's a gimmick.

No, it's just a flash drive on a puck harmonica. It's just a gimmick someone thought up to make a little money. I guess you could record yourself playing the puck then transfer the video to the flash drive then you'd have the puck and all the videos you recorded playing it to plug into your laptop to show anybody who wanted to see it.

Yes he does. Red River Valley is a pretty song. Back when I was a youngster a group called Johnny and the Hurricanes did Red River Rock, which was a rock and roll version of the song. Here it is.

In his interview he says his favorite places to record his harmonica solos are bathroom and showers.

All those hard surfaces makes the sound bounce around a lot.
