[Harp-L] New videos using Jimi Lee's GrooveTrax (TM) Backing Tracks with a B-Radical



Hi everybody,

I don't post much here but I do follow the daily chatter and wanted to weigh
in on 2 issues.  The first being Harrison Harmonicas, and the second being
Jimi Lee's GrooveTrax backing tracks.

I originally pre-ordered 2 B-Radicals (C & D) back in June of 2009.I didn't
expect delivery until the fall of '09 and didn't start to inquire about my
order until March of 2010.  All of my emails were responded to promptly,
even though they couldn't really give me an expected delivery date.  I
didn't inquire again until the fall of 2010 and once again, my
correspondence was answered quickly, by Dave Payne at that time.  I did
receive my first B-Radical, in C, last November and I've been delighted with
it.  I'm still a novice player so the air-tightness and ease of playability
have been perfect for me.  I really believe in the harmonica as a musical
instrument and really want to see an American company succeed in producing
the finest instruments in the world.  After inquiring about the order I also
decided to change my choice from a D harp to an A harp and Dave processed
that change for me too.  I just recently emailed an order status update and
was promptly replied to with the explanation of new cover plates, jet black
instead of the nickel finish, and that they expect to complete my order in 2
to 3 weeks.  I'm definitely looking forward to trying the A harp and want to
give a shout out to Harrison Harmonicas to hang in there and ask the
harmonica community to stick with them.

The second issue is the excellent backing tracks download from Jimi Lee
titled GrooveTrax (TM).  Here's my humble attempt at three different blues
improvisations set to these stellar backing tracks.  Enjoy!
