He went on to San Francisco and New Orleans, eventually coming back to New York and spending the next 25 years honing his craft in a wide range of musical styles on diatonic and chromatic harmonicas, and vocals. Hudson studied with Robert Bonfiglio and Cham-Ber Huang for classical chromatic harmonica, and Big Walter "Shakey" Horton for blues harp and voice.
