Charlie McCoy's early albums had terrific harp  harmonizing, tho all tracks  
were Charlie overdubbing.   Check his website.  His album with the harp  in 
the 
hotdog  bun is still a desert island disk.  Till I heard that, i   thought i 
hated country western music!

...I'm with you, Ron...my liking for certain Country is limited,  except for 
Charlie McCoy...he's an outrageously good harmonicist and I  can't get enough 
of listening to his Orange Blossom Special...especially  that Youtube version 
we were privy to some time back.  Even at normal  speeds he's astonishing to 
watch...and yes it is lovely harmony....though  I do think the original thread 
was more about "duets" ....two harmonica  players managing to play well 
together without cutting heads.  
 
I sure hope Smokey and I manage to achieve something of a sort next  time we 
manage to be in the same place at the same time....since he so  generously 
wants to let me take lead while he provides backup, with Wally  again -  if we 
can all work it out.....the sign of a very cool person  with no ego to prove....
I'd rather it be more of a true chromatic duet....hoping we can find  the 
right piece of music to work on long distance. We shall see....   :)
