    ''Very, very nice melodies, Eric! Definitely different and better compared to your usual riffs. There's a lot of "unwanted" notes and hesitant parts, but you were obviously taking more risk with your melodic approach then usual, so that's OK.''

    ''Thanks so much, Harplayer. I get my sound like any player -- from my gut; full, open breathing and loving care for the notes helps; a great mic also helps (Shure CM element); and if you ask me, there is no substitute for a good tube amp. No magic to it..''

    ''@ Harplayer: You asked about my sound: I think part of what you are hearing comes from overdriving the mic, using an inline volume control from Greg Heumann (blowsmeaway.com), a great gizmo. You can crank the mic without cranking the amp behind it.''

       --Lips Angelo

    East Pasco Blues
    ''I like your riffs and you have a great blues ear. The harp tone sounds a little bit like it's in the distance, yet not quite "in" the track.''
       --Rick

    ''Interesting and fun. If it was a finished track I would say it wanders a bit, but for just falling out of the harp I'd say it's great!''

    Bb Blues
    ''After working with scales for a while now, I totally agree, timing and syncopation is more difficult than playing melodic notes. Not a gripe, just an observation about jazz. Fine post.''

    ''Sure. All that jazz! Does diminished tuning helps? Donno but, it certainly sound "like I like"...''
       --Bluesie

    Bb Blues
    ''@ Ed. Tks, Ed. your comments on rhythm are very important to me for this jazz stuff. Learning how NOT to emphasize the strong beats and to play with syncopation and swing are a huge challenge -- almost as difficult as hitting the right notes :)''
       --Magic Martian

    Bb Blues
    ''"All the right notes" was a compliment. I added the criticism about the swing beat because I think you're a good chrom player; I probably wouldn't add that criticism for most others. Keep up the good work!''
       --Appleman Ed

    Bb Blues
    ''Why do you think I'm underrating the difficulty of hitting the right notes? My comment is just an observation of what I hear. If I've mastered a certain type harmonica or technique or not doesn't matter to me at that point. ''
       --Appleman Ed

    Bb Blues
    ''Nice rattling tone.''
       --Blueshiner

    Bb Blues
    ''@ Ed Appleman. I think you are underestimating the difficulty of hitting all the right notes, which is surprising after your experience on the XB40! But rhythm is also a deep subject and I need to dwell deeply upon it. Thanks for the listen.''

    ''Stayed with the changes pretty darn well. I figure if you could've accessed a couple more of the "missing" notes you would have. For me without the valves it would not have worked nearly as well. I prefer bends going down over up as with overblows.''
