RE: [Harp-L] karaoke

["Bill Hines" <billhines4@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Question is, at karaoke they take out the vocals from the song so you
can sing to it, but the harp part will still be in there so you'll be
playing over top of another harp doing the same solo (as in Long Train
Running), so that doesn't sound like it would be good to me. 

You might be better adding harp to a non-harp song at karaoke. I'm not a
big fan of the karaoke, having always had frightening experiences at
these (and that's when I'm in the audience, it would be worse if I
attempted to sing!)

Hey Mark, I've played a  little harp at karaoke bars a couple of times.
The 
songs that I did are kinda  dated but they have harmonica in them. "Long
Train 
Runnin'" (C harp, key of G)by  the Doobie Brothers, Train Train (A harp,
key 
of E) by Blackfoot, and "If You  Wanna Get To Heaven" (F harp, key of C)

by...................man.........I can't  remember their name. Anyway,
all those 
tunes are played in 2nd position. "The  Breeze" by Lynard Skynard (key
of A, D 
harp) follows the blues progression if  you wanna do something kinda
boogie like 
that doesn't have any harp in it. It  has horns in it though. These
tunes are 
kind of old but I always saw them  whenever I was doing karaoke. Hope
this 
helps dude.
         I guess you can tell by  the songs that I mentioned that I'm
old and 
from the south.
