Re: [Harp-L] Musselwhite position

["Rob Paparozzi" <Chromboy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Tom,

Yes 'Hardtimes' is in the Key of F and played in 2nd Position on a Bb harp.

Charlie's version is awesome and you may also wanna check out Gary Smith's 
version on
'Blues for Mr. B'...

ofcourse my all time favorite version has NO harp...The Jazz Crusaders LIVE 
version...wow!

you can sample it on itunes

best,
Rob
