[Harp-L] Anyone else who plays chromatic and diatonic- "harmonically ambidexrious"

[Randy Singer <randy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a dual identity--i consider myself "harmonically ambidexrious".

I feel extremely comfortable in all keys on a chromatic and in most  
keys on diatonic (Howard Levy--Little Walter-distortion/clean) in all  
styles of music. I also read music and love to improvise. I am  
constantly switching from chromatic to diatonic even in mid song just  
to keep the energy fresh.

If you would like to hear this, I created a web page featuring a  
diatonic section and a chromatic section where you can hear how  
functional the diatonic and chromatic can be in similar songs.  If you  
check some of these samples, you may think that two different people  
played, but I assure you, I am the sole performer of those clips.

You can find these clips on my HARMONICA JUKEBOX here

Some chromatic and diatonic clips are on my videos performances with  
Toots and Blondie here.

Or you can find it at  http://www.RandySinger.com  under the bottom  
right tab labeled HARMONICA JUKEBOX/FREE MUSIC

I will be finally posting some YOUTUBE videos in the next month doing  
the same, switching harps in the middle of solos.

The joy of dual harmonicas continues,
