Re: [Harp-L] Amateur ambition......

Blake, I wish I could get  this slow^&* computer to load ANYTHING with a 
sound bite. I love that tune  and have jammed on it a bunch over the years. 
(gushingly positive response) I'm  betting that you smoke the harp part. Do you 
sing? As it plays in my head right  now I can't imagine it without tremolo on the 
guitar though. I'm an old guy and  it's hard for me to put a new slant on a 
something so indelible in my head. 
     Rock on and congrats on the CD.

Anyway, we've posted a few of the songs on our myspace site  (
http://www.myspace.com/46long). One of them is a cover of "Put a Spell  on
You" - done with a very stripped down arrangement with just acoustic  guitar,
vocals and harp, and we took some liberties with the musical  arrangement for
mood's sake. Anyway, the ambition part - I use three  different keyed harps
in the song at different points (low D,A,D). There  have been a number of
people debating the merits of using different harps  over the "showoffs" who
can do it all on a C. I think, in my own amateur  way, that harp switching
works pretty well here. Feel free to give it a  listen, and I welcome all
gushingly positive responses...and perhaps some  others as well. Thanks, and
enjoy!
