Re: [Harp-L] Can anyone point to a middle octave 1st position blues solo without overblows?



Michael, 

Check out Rhythm Willie kickin' the bejeezus out of this blues in 1st position on a Bb harp back in the 1940s. Song is called "Willie's Boogie."

Then there's Willie "Red" Newman doing this 1st inter3esting and creative (if not entirely elegant) 1st position version of St. Louis Blues where he crosses into the 2nd octave several times.

Note the solo that begins about 1:15 into the song... definately middle octave. 

Overblows? We don't need no stinkin' overblows! 

Many thanks to Pat Missin for posting such great rare recordings on his Web site. 

Harpin' in Colorado,
--Ken M.
