In this long-overdue episode of Jack Dappa Blues, we welcome The Undaunted Professor Harp for a deep and unflinching conversation about Blues, Black history, survival, and truth. Drawing from his memoir, Ain’t No Uncle Tom in My Blues: Life and Times of the Undaunted Professor Harp, Professor Harp reflects on a lifetime in the music—from discovering the harmonica through George “Harmonica” Smith, to sitting in with Muddy Waters, to carrying the weight of being a Black Bluesman in Boston and the New England region for decades.This conversation goes far beyond biography. Professor Harp speaks candidly about racism, appropriation, injustice, under-recognition, perseverance, and the struggle to preserve the Blues as a Black cultural form rooted in lived experience. He reminds us that the Blues is not just entertainment. It is testimony. It is protest. It is memory. It is Black history carried in sound.We also discuss the roots of his stripped-down Texas-style approach, the mentors who helped shape his path, the meaning behind the title “Undaunted,” and his belief that the Blues remains the original protest music in America. Honest, sharp, and deeply grounded, Professor Harp offers a necessary word on what has been lost, what still remains, and why this music still matters.This is not just an interview with a harmonica master. It is a witness statement from a man who has lived the Blues, studied the Blues, fought through the Blues, and never stopped telling the truth about the world that made it.
