I wish I could play the harp like the violin in this tune, ... maybe if I had a country tuned harp........ :)

Most of my friends know it. I probably live in a time warp inhabited by other elderly hippies who remember great songs from 40 years ago and even still play them. Not like those blues chaps of course ;-)

How about these:

Nobody Knows You When You're Down & Out
Ain't Nobody's Business If I Do
Same Old Blues (the Don Nix tune, not the J.J.Cale song)
As Long As I Can See The Light
Country Honk
Silver City
Leaving To Stay
Willin'
Hesitation Blues

These are just a few examples of tunes I play myself using CT. There are literally hundreds of ragtime, country and rock/pop titles in major keys which can easily be played in 2nd position on CT harps, not to mention many in minor keys which fit well in 5th position,
