Re: [Harp-L] Man With The Harmonica-Ennio Morricone

Right, it doesn't depend on overdubbing. The chromo can handle it.  
I'm saying that with a diatonic, it WOULD need some sort of  
chicanery? Not sure as I am not a diatonic whizz kid. If you remember  
the movie, there is a part where Jason Robards warns Bronson about  
dischords. And at that time Bronson DOES play one. It's a glissando  
with the slide HALF way in. I used to actually try and play tunes  
between the reeds. Came up with 2 minor tunes that were originally  
major. South of the border and Isle of capri. It's all so much fun.

smokey-joe  (presidents and kings have him on speed dial) ( he once  
took a ride on a streetcar..because that was his desire). Yes, he is  
the most unforgettable character you will ever meet.
