talking about mouth harp, in this case. I'm working on a cover song with substantial room for harp, a couple of verses and an intro ideally. It's a hard blues rocker, and I'm not a good enough slide player to come up with two verses. Actually, it's nearly completed but for the harp. If you're interested, please contact me at m_courter@hotmail.com or courtesy of our forum. I was gonna post at Techniques, but I know the really hep cats hang out here at the Coffee House. Thanks.

(Incidentally, the earliest use I know of the word "hep" was Sinclair Lewis in the early 1920s....Babbitt, I think.)

Sorry, but I'm experiencing total harmonic(a) distortion.

Mark, best harmonica player I've heard here is Frank Tanton 'NotNat', but he don't come around here no more. You could PM him though. Check this out;

No wonder you like progressive music!

Hi,
 
At one time I heard a piece of music, I think it was about 10 minutes long or more, and it was a chromatic harp (or harmonica -- who knows the difference!), with an orchestra and it was fabulous. It wasn't Toots Thielmans or Norton Buffalo, but I have been looking for that piece for many years ... I do not remember, but someone's name was "Russell" I think, but I have never found a composer with that name and a harp piece, or a player that did it with an orchestra ... the whole piece sounded like Jan Garbarek playing with an orchestra conducted by Keith Jarrett.

Hi Mark, I have a feeling Grant (aka 'ohgrant') blows a little harp.
