[Harp-L] Harp with bluegrass

["eskeene@xxxxxxxx" <eskeene@xxxxxxxx>]

If you can find it, one of the best banjo and mouth harp duos recorded was the album, "Pickin' and Blowin'" by George Pegram and Red Parham, an old Lp on the Washington label. They sound like a whole band. If you listen hard to the melodies that the good Bluegrass singers sing and the breaks that some of the earlier Bluegrass fiddlers played (especially Chubby Wise), they lend themselves well to cross harp (and even better to Circular tuning). The main thing to remember is that in Bluegrass, the banjo rolls and mandolin chops are in 2/4 time but the vocals and fiddle breaks are in 4/4 time. You don't have to play fast notes if you play the right notes.
