Re: [Harp-L] doc watson

Thank you Ken for posting "Freight Train Boogie" that was one of my grandpa's signature harp tunes back in the day. I really enjoyed it. His harp influence was mostly DeFord Bailey. He's the guy I used as an example on the harmonica in America story for how cross harp was invented, making the case that a lot of people invented it independently over a long period of time- my grandpa was one of them. He had a D harp and noticed the draw chord was an A. If it could play an A chord and a D chord, he reckoned, the D harmonica could also be played in A.
