Thanks David!  It was really a pleasure to jam with Wim.  The diatonic harp I played made a nice solid foundation for Wim's dancing chromatic; those roles come pretty naturally to the respective instruments.

Smo-joe, that's the tempo I usually use for that piece.  The chords lay out so beautifully on the Natural Minor harp--I like to give those voicings a little time to bloom.

As a reminder to anyone who hasn't heard it yet, you can find the piece at:

See for yourself whether you think it's too slow, and as per recent discussion on this list, both players are playing without FX.  Nothing ever goes away, we just add on to it...
