[Harp-L] Re: 5th Position Playing

[IcemanLE@xxxxxxx]

Charlie Musselwhite likes to jam out in 5th on gigs, but has only recorded  a 
few 5th position songs. One is with the Blind Boys of Alabama and is entitled 
 Down In The Hole - it's on their Spirit of the Century CD. This is a Tom 
Waits  tune that was used as the theme song for a minute for the TV show called  
"The Wire". Another example is on a tune recorded on the Alligator label  
entitled "Blues Got Me Again" - not sure which album it is on.
 
Charlie is one of the few blues players that really uses 4th and 5th  
position playing.
