Re: [Harp-L] What position do you play in for "Georgia on My Mind"?

["Dennis M. Cooper" <dcooper@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I play "Georgia" in 2nd position using a country-tuned harmonica. I used 
to do it with an overblow, but I finally decided it wasn't about using 
the OB as what sounds best to the listeners on a consistent basis.

You can hear my version (recorded in 2001) at my website. The player is 
on the front page to the right.

Best Regards,
