[Harp-L] Have a Safe and Happy Fourth of July!



Need something to do for the Fourth?  The Fourth is a good day to practice
your patriotic tunes, from the revolution on to now.  It is a great way to
kill time before the nighttime fun begins.  So get "crackin'"!

Here's some ideas:

*Chester* (Revolutionary War, simple, 1st position),

*Yankee* *Doodle* (Revolutionary War and prior, simple, 1st position),

*Marine* *Hymn* (1st position)

*As Those Caisons Go Rolling Along* (Army, 1st position)

*Anchors Aweigh* (Navy, 12th position -- start 5 draw, 6 draw, 7 blow, 8
draw, 6 draw, 8 draw, ...)

*Airforce March *(not simple, usually a missing note, can be found in
various positions with lots of bends or on chromatic)

*Rally 'Round the Flag* (Civil War, 1st position, simple)

*Battle Hymn of the Republic* (Civil War, 1st position, simple)

*Star-Spangled Banner* (2nd position with bends or 12th position on upper
octaves with 10 blow bend -- starting 7 blow, 6 draw, 5 draw,...)

*America, the Beautiful* (natural minor harmonica using major scale,
starting 5 draw, 5 draw, 4 draw, 4 draw, 5 draw, 5 draw, 4 blow, 4 blow, ...
requiring one bent note in tune)

*My Country 'Tis of Thee* (1st position)

*God Bless America* (1st position)

and so on...
Have a Happy and Safe Fourth of July!!!
