Dave Barrett has a great book on this topic. Exploring 1st Position
Blues. 
(1st position is STRAIGHT harp)

And yes, you can sound wickedly bluesy in 1st position. Ever hear of
Jimmy Reed?

Hello all!

I was glad to find this site and all the great players and info
available 
here.
I am a STRAIGHT Harp Player, LOL, (as in I play in 1st position, not
2nd.) I LOVE the BLUES, and prefer it to most other forms of music. So!
You can 
see my delema. Believe me I have tried to switch, but I seem to always 
stumble back to my old ways. Is there any other "straight" harp players
here 
who play the Blues?
 My Son acusses me of sounding like BlueGrass. ( Which I've played for 
years.)
HELP!!!!

Best regards
 Don
