Re: [Harp-L] Musselwhite overblowing or alternate harptuning?

I haven't heard this particular CD yet, but have been in dialogue with Charlie ever since we met giving seminars at a David Barrett MasterClass in the late 90's.
 
He doesn't overblow, but he's asked me questions concerning certain unusual position playing - beyond 3rd, 4th and 5th - recently. Perhaps this is an example of playing in one of the positions not normally used for blues.

I just listened to Charlie Musselwhite's new cd Delta Hardware, and heard 
something strange on the last track, Blues for Yesterday.
At 3'58 there's clearly an overblow 6 (G harp) Ãr an alternate tuning on the top 
end of the harp.
It even sounds like a 7 overdraw, as a quick passing note, in the lick at 4'06.
 
I don't have the cd cover, since it's a review copy that strangely enough came 
without booklet.
Maybe there's something in the liner notes about this?
 
I'm just curious because I know Charlie never got into ob-ing, and I'm not aware 
that he ever used an alternate harp tuning.
Anyone heard about the old dog learning new tricks?
