Even after I watched the video I didn't really recognize this tune. Anybody
got a source of sheet music for this tune? ( I doubt it has been reduced to
tab)

Looks like the 'Capy Barra' group. I think I see Charlie Leighton but my video quality isn't the best. It's easy to see why full harmonica ensembles are a thing of the past. The work that a tune such as this would entail is crushing. smo-joe

I found this video link for "Powerhouse" over on Slidemeister.
I'm not usually a great fan of old-timey harmonica groups. But I have a great sentimental attachment to this particular tune because I was lucky enough to know the composer, Raymond Scott. When my son was a young child he actually performed this tune at Raymond's home on his living room piano! (Precocious kid!)
Anyway, this is a spirited rendition of a crazy tune, which, I've found, when performed in Eb on a C chromatic as these guys do, isn't quite as insane as it sounds!
