When were they formed? Where? And, any connection to Jan August (who I understand they backed up)? Trekphiler 03:23, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Polyphonia

What is a "Polyphonia"? There's no description in the article and no article in Wikipedia on such an instrument. 2600:8800:204:C400:2089:13FA:A3F1:5870 (talk) 21:34, 16 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

1947 ... they recorded?

My understanding of the "recording ban" is that it was a musicians' strike against record companies. During the recording ban, record companies couldn't record any new material with musicians (that is, instrumentalists; singers were unaffected by the strike because they were in a different union). Record companies released material that was recorded before the ban and they recorded singers without instrumentalists. When exactly was the ban? Did the Harmonicats record before the ban? Should the Wikipedia text say that "Peg o' my Heart" was "released" (not "recorded") during the ban? 146.142.1.10 (talk) 20:27, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Cappy Laffel

These unsourced statements were added. I was unable to find a source for them. If you can find one, please cleanup, restore and add the reference

He left before 1950. He can be heard on songs such as "Ritual Fire Dance" and "Always in My Heart". Cappy often played the number 261, 262/263, No. 6 and No. 7 Polyphonia and Chromatica harmonicas. Cappy also was a vocalist with the group, being heard on several of the earlist Harmonicats 78rpm records. Cappy, a experienced harmonica player, was also a member of the Cappy Barra Harmonica Gentlemen, often heard on polyphonia or vocals in their recordings. Cappy later retired and lived out the last of his days playing with the Windy City Harmonica Club. An interesting fact, Cappy was the last of the "original" members of the group to pass away in 2002.
