         Well Mike you have me deep  in contemplation and believe it or not 
the first song I thought of was Louie  Louie (you may laugh at will) I was in a 
band that booked ourselves 4 decades of  R & R and ended up playing harp on 
some old stuff like You Give Me Money, we  started it with kick drum and me 
playing a lead with a D harp, the whistle part  of Dock Of the Bay with fills all 
through it, I even played harp on Wipe Out for  giggles (don't know what I 
was drinkin' that night) all kinds of stuff. In other  bands I did harp on 
Dreams, Cocaine, That George Clinton song that everybody  does, Herbie 
Hancock's...I can't remember the names of these songs, Hank Jr's  All My Rowdy Friends 
(managed to most of the licks from Whammer Jammer on  it) Black 
Sheep..........harp on so many country songs I can't remember. My  own bands I've done funk 
versions of Mustang Sally, Jingo by Santana, Ready for  Love,...........as you 
can see I'm an old so and so but suffice to say nobody  ever told me "that 
doesn't work" when I wanted to play harp in something as long  as I worked it out 
and stayed within the root notes. You go brother, it sounds  like you are in a 
very cool band that you can play harp at will in. GET DOWN  WILLIE
           Randy           PS now I have  that Herbie Hancock song and Louie 
Louie intertwined in my head, I think you  could play both of them at the same 
time. LOL They're in the key of  G 

Little  Wing got me thinking...Here are a few of my
favorite tunes we've been  covering that aren't you
typical harmonica or blues songs.  I know  some of you
never play any harp specific songs, but I thought it
would  be cool to read what "pop" tunes you guys have
been doing (there   might be some jazz on this list
too).  Here is my partial  list.
