RE: [Harp-L] Ballad harp vs sax

["Bill Hines" <billhines4@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I downloaded Ironman Mike Curtis' free real player video last week and
was playing it while I was getting some work done. I took an interest in
some of the songs he was doing so I wrote down the timestamps when they
appeared in case I wanted to go back and hear any again. If you download
this (caution, it's huge - 36M - so don't attempt without a high-speed
connection) and go to right around the 44 minute mark (this is a 2 hour
and 21 minute show!) you'll catch Harlem Nocturn. He introduces it as
his favorite sax song. Ironman does this show as a one-man band - he's
got a neck rack on for diatonic while playing electric guitar and also
bass via footpedals. He has a drum machine going also. It's pretty good,
lots of fun. Below is my index, I may have missed a few songs because I
was working while watching/listening to this. If you like it and get any
entertainment value, put a few bucks in his paypal e-tip jar out of
courtesy. http://www.ironmancurtis.com/

Ironman Mike Curtis did a version of Harlem Nocturn that I seem to
remember him "giving away".  Well, he must have given it away as I do
not tend to "steal" songs!  Check the archives for harlemnocturne.mp3
maybe...?  That is what the file I have is called.

Not being a jazzy guy, I can not say whether is is a good version of the
song or not.  I think this is the only version I have heard.  I do know
that I like it!  My memory is saying that it was some weird position,
like fifth or something.
