RE: [Harp-L] Looking for Dixie Tab in 2nd position + others

That's cool, Steve.  Plus you can play it in F in 12th position, then make a
dramatic move to G in second position--both on your C harp.

If you want to get real fancy..after you learn Amazing Grace in first and
second, try it in, I think it's 12th,  key of F on a C harp.
