[Harp-L] A Night In Tunisia

[George Brooks <gbrooks1@xxxxxxxxx>]

If I am reading Richard's recent post correctly, he is suggesting in a 
humorous way that we would be better off attempting A Night In Tunisia 
on the button chromatic harmonica.  It is the case, however, that my 
instrument is the so-called diatonic harmonica.  I am in awe of 
multi-instrumentalists, including those, like Rob Paparozzi, William 
Galison, and Richard Hunter, who can play hell out of both a button 
chromatic and a "diatonic" harmonica.  But I am not one of them.  
Criticize the results of my efforts on "diatonic," but don't suggest 
that I should be playing another instrument.  Or do.  I guess that is 
part of what Harp-L is all about.

Some of the things I have heard Richard play on his CX-12 would sound a 
lot better played on a saxophone, an instrument much better suited to 
the playing of jazz in my opinion.
