Joe is amazingâThanks for the link to this song.

He taught the Advanced Harmonica workshop at the Bean Blossom Blues
Fest this year.  During the workshop, he put on one hell of a
demonstration.  He played a few songs with this type of background
rhythm.  He also did many things that practically made every jaw in
the room drop.  Including an incredible rendition of Amazing Grace
that sounded like 2 people playing the organ not one playing the harp.
 I recorded this class and have greatly benefited by what he said and
greatly inspired by what he played.

Later in the evening, he performed and blew everyone away.  He did one
song in 3rd position playing into a tin can that he was using like a
trumpet mute to get a wah effect.  It very cool it sounded downright
spooky.
