[Harp-L] Chromatic Harp played by Walter Horton?

["the_jukester@xxxxxxxx" <the_jukester@xxxxxxxx>]

     Are there any certifed recorded examples of Walter Horton playing chromatic harp? He was once known to have made a statement along the lines of "Chromatic harp will fry your mind." The only example I have found where he could be playing chromatic is on the Muddy Waters recording of Willie Dixon's tune "Don't Go No Further", recorded for Chess in July of 1956. 
 
     The harp sounds like a chromatic, but the playing is much less aventuresome that Big Walter's usual brilliant diatonic work. My guess is that he was not very comfortable with this type of harp, and didn;t want to take any chances of hitting a bad note or two. As previously noted, however, he did a commendable job on his own recording of "Skip It", recorded years later in his career for the Blind Pig label, where he was using a Marine Band Soloist, tuned like a chromatic. As usual, his tone and execution here was top notch. Any input on this subject would be appreciated.
