Part of the arrangement has some harmonica with strings.

Hi Gary,

I agree that harmonica and fiddle sound great together. Please post a video of your upcoming gigs. 

I recorded harmony with fiddler Christian Ward in 2008 on 2 slow tunes, Loversâ Waltz and Lonesome Moonlight Waltz. (You can hear these tunes on Soundcloud, High Desert Bluegrass Sessions (https://soundcloud.com/david-naiditch).) 

Most recently, I jammed with fiddler Phil Salazar on a few bluegrass and country swing tunes:
