[Harp-L] Name that tune?

[Michael Easton <diachrome@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

There is an interesting thread on the Slidemeister forum that got me  
to thinking about something along the line of that post.

What 1 ( not 2 or 3 or 4) piece of harmonica music do you feel best  
describes how you  play today?
It doesn't have to be your favorite song. Just one you feel has lots  
of elements of how you currently play.

I know I've been influenced by many guitarists and horn players but  
the question is about a harmonica piece.  Let the ego go and answer
honestly.

So  what 1 piece of harmonica music  best exemplifies your attack,  
phrasing, intonation, and overall technique when freely improvising?

For me it would have to be Butterfield's fills on "Please Send Me  
Someone To Love."   I spent a lifetime trying to perfect that vibrato  
to the point of making the
note weep.  I've never played the song in public but I use that as  
model for playing slow blues ballads.
