Fwd: [Harp-L] Harmonic Minor Harps

["Winslow Yerxa" <winslowyerxa@xxxxxxxxx>]

There's always Hava Nagilah, with the first part in second position 
(start on Draw 2 or blow 6) and the second part in first (starts on  
Blow 4 or 7). Also, check out a Beatles song (John Lennon, actually) 
from the Rubber Soul album, called "Girl." This falls in first 
position on a harmonic minor (though it does have one note that falls 
outside the scale, which would correspond to Draw 3 bent down one or 
6 overblow).

Hello,
   
  I recently accquired a set of LO Harmonic Minor harps (Am, Bm, Cm, 
Dm, Fm).  Do any of you have any suggestions of songs/music/artists 
(folk, blues, ethnic, etc.) that these harps work well with?   I am 
familiar with the LO Natural Minor harps and use these for minor 
blues.  I even played around with the Harmonic Minors (ala first 
position) for some blues this weekend, which was an interesting 
exercise.  However,  I am looking to expand my musical horizons and 
utilize the capability of the harmonic minors beyond blues.  Any 
suggestions for songs/books/artists, CDs or examples of using the 
harmonic minors would be appreciated.
   
  thanks
