Re: [Harp-L] Summertime and Song for My Father Question

["ben bouman" <fitgo@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Normally I play Summertime in 2nd pos. in my acoustic duo..
You can try to play with  Joe's solo on a D harp(2nd), G(3rd) or C (4th) ..
4th works well when you can overblow 4(and 5/6)...ok...and overdraws etc 
etc...
