''Harp sounds like in a different room than bt but good playing. A little too much with two harps, IMO.''
   --BlueInGreen

   --Bluesie

MoeBluz
''Blended right in with the BT very smooth playing Lips!''
   --Bro.Bob

MoeBluz

''First it was an F, then a Bb, now an Eb. Do you know what the heck you were playing? Perhaps it wasn't even a harmonica. Get offa da weed man and pay attention Hahahahahahahahaha LOL Oh ya, nice track.''
   --djazznbluzz

MoeBluz
''Yes....sorry MM.....Eb in 2nd Bb.''
   --Lips Angelo

   --huhn

MoeBluz
''@ Lips: Not to be a bore, but the bt is in the key of Bb. Playing in second position in the key of Bb would be on an Eb harp. Playing on an F harp to Bb is 12th position. Or maybe it's different where I come from. ''
   --Magic Martian

MoeBluz
''Sound real good Mike. Lots of melodic ideas and some cool sounding octave playing. Maybe you are really in first position. You are if he bt is in Bb.''
   --BlueInGreen

MoeBluz
''Bb second position sir.''
   --Lips Angelo

MoeBluz
''Lips, if you played this on an F harp, then you were in 12th position (or just plain off key :)) but it sounds right to me, so more power to you.''
