Greetings to  everyone:
I started playing with another guitarist and we have been working  on some

We are playing it in  A Minor and using a Golden Melody (out of the box) in

Anybody have any  ideas and suggestions.

I don't think anyone is saying  anything on this thread that anyone else 
actually disagrees with.    From what I hear, the top customisers have long 
waiting lists and so must be  doing good business I presume.  Tony is simply filling 
a different niche  in the market for improved harmonicas.  It isn't really a 
competition,  though I hear that some are uncomfortable with the claims Tony 
makes for his  harmonicas on his site.   If you're a top player making money 
out of  playing you will know the difference between what he offers and what the 
top  dogs offer.    He  may be operating more at the budget end of  things 
but there are hundreds of us who are glad he's there, doing the sorts  of 
improvements to a standard that we may struggle to achieve at home  ourselves, and 
giving us darn good value for our limited supply of  money.

With diapers to  buy and three wee mouths to feed, and a more-than-full-time 
job (meaning I  don't gig much these days), spending the money needed for a 
TOP shelf custom  harmonica is really out of the question. However, I may be 
able to justify the  expense of something in the sub-$100  region.

Seems like we're getting a little  nit-picky here.  What's wrong with 
somebody saying they're the  best?  Isn't that how the game is played? 
When you advertise for your  band, do you say "We're the 14th best band 
in the county!"  No, you  say "We're the best band in the Tri-State 
area!"  (Or in my case,  "The best damn blues band west of the Big Blue 
River").  So what if  there's a little bit of exaggeration there?

I checked out the website  in question, and for my money, $52-$72 US 
sounds like a pretty good deal  on a tuned harp.  If you don't want to 
call that "custom", that's  fine with me.  But I think you're splitting 
hairs here.

I'm  not really disagreeing with Steve, here, just wanted to butt in with 
my  2c.

Well, I used to play that song.
You can do  a very good work using the second position for the theme and 3rd
and 4th  position for the solos. At least that's what I do and it sounds good
to me.  I treat this tune like a pure blues.

Let me know if that helped  ya.

David - 

You playing reminds me a  bit of Jimmy Riddle, who played harmonica with Roy 
Acuff in the '40s (later he  switched to piano while Onie Wheeler took over 
harmonica) and made a couple of  his own albums in, I think, the 1960s. He 
sometimes took an entire chorus on  chromatic (Freight Train BLues and Tennessee 
Waltz with Acuff for instance),  or else switched back and forth between 
second-position diatonic and chromatic  played in either 1st position or 8th position 
(C# on a C chromatic). Sometimes  his choice of keys seems to be based on the 
slide-in blow chord position of  the chromatic he's using.

I think your approach is a little closer to  Riddle's than to Naiditch's. 
Naiditch sounds like a mostly single note player  with a bit of a jazz background 
who isn't really digging into chordal playing  or into using the slide as a 
source of licks and ideas (or even phrasing; I  don't hear him exploiting the 
E#/F or B#/C enharmonics to smooth out his  phrases) as much as just a way of 
simply accessing the notes he wants to play.  Your playing (and Riddle's) seems 
to proceed more organically from the  harmonica itself.

If you are dealing with  broadjam, encourage them to lose the popups. I
gave up trying to get this  track. My browser, as most these days, block
popups. Even when I said to  allow this one time, it still failed. There
is a better way to accomplish  what they are trying to accomplish, and
this costs the artists money when  folks can't buy the music. Popups are
"so old school"  :^)

Hi all,

Some  time ago, I advised these lists that my song "Kill The Doctor (That
Killed  My Wife)" could be heard at broadjam.com/rhunter  and
myspace.com/richardhunterharp.  In a fit of generosity (sparked in  part
by the fact that very few companies seem eager to license a song  about
wanting to kill a doctor--maybe if it was a lawyer?), I've made  the
recording available for FREE download on Broadjam.

To download  the song, go to broadjam.com/rhunter, click on the button to
see all songs,  and then click on the button next to "Kill the Doctor"
that says  "$0".  The song will be added to your shopping cart.  When  you
check out, you will be charged zero.  At least, that's how it's  supposed
to work.  Tell me if it doesn't.

"Kill the Doctor" is  a 16-bar blues form, with all parts written and
arranged by me.  It is  one of the few songs in existence with a vocal by
me, and one of the even  fewer with a vocal by me that doesn't completely
suck.  The lyrics are  based on a true story, but my wife did not die,
and I don't plan to kill  any doctors.  So enjoy without guilt or fear.

Thanks, Richard  Hunter

David Naiditch is one really  amazing talent. I hang around with a lot of 
Bluegrass players and David  would be very well received for the way he 
phrases and pays due respect to  the guys he listens to through his playing.
The band is top notch  too.

But of course, it would be up to her to expand/amplify  that notion... "at a
