Can I ask you what equipment you used to record the harmonica? Harp type
(Bb), mic, mixing techniques? It has a huge sound, most of which I'm sure
comes from the player :-)                                  '

Eugene,
  Thank you for listening, the song means a lot to me. It has been a while
since I recorded this solo, but I THINK we used 2 mics for this track- a
Shure SM7b in front and some high quality directional condenser aiming down
at the harp from above left. I'd like to say it's all me (and I have a
pretty good acoustic tone) but there are some amazing compressors and verbs
in the latest pro-tools. I also am one of the very lucky players who have
Filisko harmonicas...I doubt if I could bend those overdraws on any other
harp.
