Yeah, ain't that the truth!!!  Its when you're at the end of your rope that
you start trying the most adventuresome things.

Willow Weep For Me plays GREAT on valved diatonic.  The Eb on the bridge is
a 5Bb, and plays very sweetly on valved diatonic.  I don't play it that
often, but get a lot of requests for it from folks who've heard it before.

Valving a diatonic is pretty easy.  It takes me somewhere around 20 minutes
to do them individually, less if I do a batch.
