Re: [Harp-L] Powerhouse--sheet music



They probably had a blast. I always enjoyed the work I did with the Original Harmonica Band. We were all very committed and a few of the arrangments were crazy. But when you have players that are firing on all cylinders like these guys were the energy gets electric.

It is a very different musical environment and milieu than a blues band making comparisons almost impossible.

Even after I watched the video I didn't really recognize this tune. Anybody
got a source of sheet music for this tune? ( I doubt it has been reduced to
tab)

Looks like the 'Capy Barra' group. I think I see Charlie Leighton but
my video quality isn't the best. It's easy to see why full harmonica
ensembles are a thing of the past. The work that a tune such as this
would entail is crushing.

I found this video link for "Powerhouse" over on Slidemeister.

I'm not usually a great fan of old-timey harmonica groups.  But I
have a great sentimental
attachment to this particular tune because I was lucky enough to
know the composer, Raymond Scott.
   When my son was a young child he actually performed this tune at
Raymond's home on his living
room piano!   (Precocious kid!)

Anyway, this is a spirited rendition of a crazy tune, which, I've
found, when performed in Eb on a
C chromatic as these guys do, isn't quite as insane as it sounds!
