    I would post whatever bits of info you have off the records (and from the guy) then watch our jaws drop as a couple dudes tell you everything you ever wanted to know including the name of the back up vocalists cat.

    ok, this first one is on presto recording corporation out of paramus, nj. it doesnt have anyone's name on it. its a acetate. it sounds like harmonica blues. and its at 33 1/3 so i can actually get an idea of what it is. it is definately blues. the tracks written on the label in pencil are
    harpers express
    the return
    lady had the blues
    and now i know
    id give my soul away

    thats all the info on it.

    If you haven't found out by now, I think this MAY be the Harper-Brinson Band.

    They had a single on Specialty, "Harper's Express" b/w "Harper's Return".

    Ha, cool! So if he asks who did the harmonica blues record, now you'll have something to tell him (assuming I'm right)...
