Re: [Harp-L] Orange Blossoms for Dummies

["Bob Laughlin" <rlaughlin@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

One could always play it slow and funky on a lower harp. Playing it
half-speed would bring it down to about 76 bpm, rather than the 152 bpm
Charlie seems to be blossoming at. It would take on a different flavor, like
a swing beat, like some old Glen Miller tune. ("In the Mood"?)

high-pitched F-harp non the fast melody stretch as opposed to a lower
pitched (and somewhat more sluggish A harp. (I remember once trying to do it
on a G harp and regretting the choice).
