Re: [Harp-L] Any one got a better one?

Well the thing you're missing is the lower 6th in the E major scale -
- the C# -- which would be a 3 draw bent down a whole tone.  That's 
the note that falls on the word "a" in the line "No crib for *a* 
bed".  Moving back and forth between a 2 draw and a 3 blow as you've 
indicated is really the same note.  You can play this in first 
position on a Paddy Richter tuned harp without bends.

I am part of a church group celebrating advent and I am trying to

better rendition in the same key.

A-way in the man  ger 

4     4   -3  -2  3
No crib for a  bed

  -3   -2     3     4         5
laid down his sweet head 

 6      6    -5  5    5
the stars in the sky

-4     4        4         -3   3    3
all looked down where he lay

3     -5 5   -4     5   -4
the lit-tle Lord Jes-us 

4    -4    -2  -3   4
a sleep on the hay


any and all help appreciated.
