F# just happens to be my vocal "home" key.  I capo up a couple of frets and
my simple E licks seem to work just fine up there.  I don't know any music
theory and don't claim to be much on either harp or guitar but perhaps some
of you folks with formal musical education can explain why a guitarist, if
he's not too vain to use a capo, can't work out some simple arrangements in
just about any key the vocalist wants.
