[Harp-L] Fwd: Typical keys for blues

["John F. Potts" <hvyj@xxxxxxx>]

You know, I use my Db most often for playing F natural minor in 5th  
position.  Ab major doesn't seem to be a key that gets called very  
often.  I use my Ab harp all the time to play C natural minor in 5th  
position.  I like 5th position  and use it regularly for minor keys.
