[Harp-L] Tony Eyers releases free Chromatic Harmonica Baroque Book

[Vern]

Thanks Tony,

I have downloaded the book.  

I plan to try to play one part on guitar and the other on the Hands-Free-Chromatic.  It will be a challenge and take some work.  I once could play the Bach Two Part Invention in Am.

While these players have been able to sight read the duets I've brought, the composers are generally unknown to them. Just as the blues harmonica world has Little Walter, Big Walter, Sonny Terry, Kim Wilson and other icons, the 18th century baroque world had Telemann, Boismortier, Quantz, Loeiilet and other giants.
