    ''very very bluesy, I really like the swells you do on notes, as well as that really long bent note that you did, All i would've done to that was added some nice vibrato to milk the note, but a real nice post''

    ''Has a bit of a European classical flair, rather than a blues flair. Needs more tears.''

    ''Nice pretty tune. You pull off a variety of songs so nice. I'm usually looking for grit and bluesy pain from the harp, but listened to this 3 times. Some day I'll have to learn to relax enough to try a pretty song like this.''

    ''Well done with that "bejaardenklep" monster. Work on the timing and for my taste you could do a little more eight note runs :)''

    ''Great chrom work Ed! I liked how you maintained the sense of melody throughout.''
       --Downhome Dave

    Jazzy Blues
    ''What else need a song played with a chrom ? You hold the melodic line and give this BT soul. One point: you should leave some space between notes. I have the same "problem".''

    Jazzy Blues
    ''Perfect from the first note Ed. Your sort of music played with zest''
       --Peter Holliman

    Jazzy Blues
    ''Yes, you sound pretty good. But I am anylizing it and what I hear is you trying to keep up with the tempo. Try cutting the tempo in half. You don't have to play a note on every beat or sprint to keep up. Hold a note for a few beats and let the music run''

       --Lips Angelo

    My Turn To Blow
    ''I was surprised to hear a chromatic with this B-T, but you pulled it off nice. More volume early?''
       --Brown Ale Guy

    My Turn To Blow
    ''Good all round - especially the use of chords. Harp is too low in the mix (at start) on my audio system also. But how on earth can you hold and mic a 16 hole harp that is nearly as long as your arm!?''
       --tonedeft

    My Turn To Blow
    ''first 42 seconds too low in the mix imo,maybe that was intention,after that a real chrom-catcher.(could have used more bass-frequ by the cube,sound was not thin at all,but its easy to critizice,i know)LOLOL''
       --huhn

    My Turn To Blow
    ''I'm starting to think it's my headphones, but the harp volume is too soft for me. Anybody else? Harp track is moody, but needed a pinch more bounce/rhythm to it. Again, could be my cans. Your chromatic skill always comes through.''

    ''looks like an hard one for sure. You came up with good stuff on it. Just lack a bit of flow but I'm sure if you were a bit more at ease with the chord progression this problem would be solved. Great work !''
       --Tonyh

    Springtime In New York
    ''To my ears you followed the chords very nicely. Otherwise playing and phrasing was a bit stiff and not your best, but I know that after some more practise you could make a pro sounding version of this.''
