[Harp-L] RE: Twelfth position - Does it Appeal to Others Like it Appeals to Me?

[Peter & Connie Ruth <conruth@xxxxxxxxx>]

I don't use 12th position often, but I love it for certain songs.

Check out my version of "Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out" on  
YouTube:

For this cut I played the song in the key of G on a D harp.
