RE: [Harp-L] George Smith and Chicago City

[Ryan Hartt <rhartt1234@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Other than "Chicago City", the ballad/melodies like "Peg O' My Heart" and "I left My Heart in San Francisco" and the famed "Boogien' With George" what other first position chromatic does George play?
The only one I can think of off hand is Johnny Dyer's "Everybody Talkin". George blows very similar lines to "Chicago City". Really tasty stuff.
What else?

Hi,
He's definitely playing a 64 in C, which is 1st position. This tune is actually "Going To Chicago," which I believe was originally done by Count Basie.

Chicago City is in C. I haven't worked it out in a while but I would think George is using a Bb 270 or he might be playing a 64 in C as he was known to do on occasion.
