Re: [Harp-L] 5th Position

[Ken Hildebrand <airmojoken@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Steve,

I just checked my iPod/iTunes library for some songs
in
5th position; if possible, I try to put the song key 
and harp key/position in the iTunes song comment
section,
making it easy to make smart playlists, and finding
certain
keys/harps).

You might have some of these songs in your music
collection, 
since I know you like a wide variety of music genres
and styles.

Here's several songs to try...


Wailin Woods, Poor Wayfaring Stranger (CD: Wayfaring 
Stranger), key of E minor (C harp in 5th position)

Wailin Woods, Mama Blues (CD: The Collection), 
Starts in key of Db (A in 5th), then Key of E (A in
2nd)

Mike Stevens, Jerusalem Ridge (CD: The World Is Only
Air),
key of E minor (C harp in 5th position)

Madcat & the Cats, Jericho (CD: Live at the Ark),
Key of Dm (C Chromatic, then Bb in 5th, back to the
Chromatic)

Peter Madcat Ruth, Takin' My Time (CD: Madcat's
Harmonica & Ukulele Project),
Key of Am (F in 5th)

Dave Therault, The Deb (CD: Harp-L IV: The H Files),
Key of C (Ab in 5th)


Keep Foolin' with those Harps !
