[Harp-L] country western harp

[jim.alciere@xxxxxxxxx]

I fake country western with the Cooper Hill Band but I've never really
mastered it.

What I do is play the old traditional stuff (Sonny Terry's work with Woodie
Guthrie and Mel Lyman's stuff with Kweskin's Jug Band) and sort of make it
fit.

It would be an undertaking but it would be real nice to have a link to 8 or
9 good country western harmonica tunes, with the key of the song, and note
whether they're using the Nashville tuning or just a regular tuned harp.
Something to play along with.

At this point in my life I am not going to attempt to learn Orange Blossom
Express.
Here's two songs that really influenced me as a kid. I don't have any harps
with me so I can't tell you the keys but they're regular tuned harps 2nd
position


Here's a decidedly laid back version of Merle Travis's Dark as a Dungeon
with Mel Lyman

And not really country, but close--Sonny Terry with Woody Guthrie doing My
Dirty Overhauls  Sonny is of course, perfect.
