Re: [Harp-L] Old Time Harmonica

Man, that looks nice! I made it to video of the day ;-)
You're right, with no 'apparent' effort on the fleet lines, but yeah, been 
working hard on it. I still thought they were a bit on the slow side. Glad 
that it worked. I find it a good practice to play it a couple of times on 
110% of the speed and then when you back to normal speed it feels as if you 
have plenty of time. But then there's the danger that you will play a bit 
early, in front of the beat ye know. Ah well, ...
Thanks a bunch!
