Re: [Harp-L] 5th Position

Richard,

I agree, Toots also seems to sound awful good in E Major on a C 
Chromatic.....he obviously prefers the flat keys but sometimes a writer has 
different ideas and the session player must be ready!,-)

My Toots example are:
The first solo section of  Jaco's "Three Views of a Secret" and also "Smoke 
Rings and Wine" on  Ralph Macdonald's The Path LP


Best,
Rob P
