“One of the things I did to survive in university”, John Middleton tells me, “was learn the harmonica.” Blues and jazz have been woven through Middleton's life ever since. There is the music itself, of course—I can thoroughly recommend Doctor Write Me a Prescription for the Blues by his group, Doctor Harp's Medicine Band—but there is also the attitude peculiar to the art form: strong emotion allied with technical proficiency, a communal, creative response to the trials of life. Middleton is Honorary Professor of Public Health at Wolverhampton University and Visiting Professor of Public Health at Derby University in the UK.
