Can anyone out there point me to a diatonic harp recording of this Irish
std.? I have a friend who is begging me to do it at a show for the Irish Pub
owner. Thanks!
I just checked charlie's website - one of Charlie McCoy's earliest albums
(1972) called, Charlie McCoy, has Danny Boy done in F, apparently modulating to
F#. Acc. to his key sheet available on his website, charliemccoy.com, he
uses the following harps in the song: Bb,F,B,F#, evidently using both second
and first postions in both keys.
Unfortunately, it says it's only available on cassette tape nowadays. If
u've never heard it before, his versions of Rocky Top and Me and Bobbi McGee
will knock your socks off. It's a great album.
