[Harp-L] Position and Key harp

[Peter Madcat Ruth]

Hey Larry - and everyone else on Harp-l,

Well how about that - I did play “Take Five” in the key of C (third position on a Bb harmonica) ! ! !

Thanks, Larry, for finding that video. I had forgotten all about it.

When playing solo you get to play in any key you want :-)
