Re: [Harp-L] Old Hippie, Bellamy Brothers
HMMMM
I lived in Nashville when this song came out.
Though the video shows Wally playing harmonica on this song, I would
bet you a brand new marine band box that Wally did not play it on the
original recording. I would place my bet that that is charlie mccoy.
On the original recording, listen to the clean/slow vibrato, the in
tune bends and super tight rhythm backing of the original harmonica on
this song. Also, listen to the second verse of the song where the
studio harmonica player hits the natural seventh note which is not on
the E harp Wally (he hits the flat seven) uses in the video leads me
to bet Charlie is the man on the studio recording.
I could be wrong but, it is my bet it was charlie, unless Wally got
really lucky in the studio mimicking charlie.

Wally joined the Bellamy Brother's band in 1983. He plays
bass guitar and harmonica. He also functions as the
Bellamy's road manager.
It's an E harp in standard Richter tuning.
