''Also nicely done. I think the b-track was too soft.''
   --dblues

Night Track
''Some really bluesy minor playing.Seem to get off track from flow of btrack at times and the btrack is very low so I can't hear the chords well enough when the harp plays.''
   --BlueInGreen

A Minor Wave
''You have the reverb.echo set just right.You sound good but the piano sounds not so good.This is a tuff BT to play to''
   --Daniel Blues

A Minor Wave
''Enjoyed this one. Pitch control sounds very good up to 2m30s, and then got back onto the tracks well.''
   --tonedeft

A Minor Wave
''Re-posted version is up now. The real challenge for me was to stay in pitch for the A/Bb on the 3 hole draw (not to mention the Bb overblow on the sixth). Nice bt for this purpose!''
   --Eric Martin

A Minor Wave
''@ TK: yes, this is your earlier posted bt. The drums do seem out, but I followed the bass: striving mainly just to stay in key! Will check out your new version, thanks.''
   --Eric Martin

A Minor Wave
''Was that the out of sync version you played against? If so than good job, that must have been difficult. Could you do one more with the improved BT?''
   --TK

A Minor Wave
''Man, I sure like how you approach a song - clean and easy to listen to. Good control and tone''

Funk The Blue
''I don't know about funk, but thought you brought some pretty good bluesy stuff out of that big old 64.''
   --Brown Ale Guy

It Feels Good
''Eric, this had a great swinging groove to man. Enjoyed! :)''
   --Mc7

Funk The Blue
''I know how hard it is to play the Chromatic with funky BT you did just fine Man!''
   --Bro.Bob

Deadly Concoction
''Some real good stuff in here. Some unformed stuff. But, boy the potential. Cool!''
   --Rick

It Feels Good
''Good natural organic jam here! Good for ya! Cool! Enjoyed it!''
   --Rick

Funk The Blue
''Eric, I love the phrasing, the theme. Nice playing too. Have fun, man!''
   --Blusie

Funk The Blue
''@ Aqua: you were right -- this is a G chromatic. My notes had it switched with my take of Deadly Concoction (on the Open Mic now), which is a C Chromatic. Just want you to know you can trust your great ears.''
   --Eric Martin

Funk The Blue
''@ Aqua: thanks for the listen. This is a C chromatic.''
   --Eric Martin

Funk The Blue
''Good one for sure!!!!! Got me confused though-sounds like a G chromatic to me,but you say it's a C.Have I got it wrong?''
   --Aqua

Deadly Concoction
''The articulation you use really fits with the bt - like your melody ideas''
   --htrain

Funk The Blue
''Sounded good to me. Perhaps some double time runs for spice?''
   --dblues

Deadly Concoction
''Working the chrom well on this one too.Like the note punctuation.''
   --BlueInGreen

Funk The Blue
''Most of it sounds great.Just few rough edges, but I like it.For some great funky chrom,check George Smith w/Baconfat on Blue Horizon label-lots of big fat funky chrom chords/octaves for funky punch''

Ten Minutes Before Ernst Arrived
''Very pretty, jazzy melody. You get a little tangled up here or there, but, hey it's jazz, and I'm tied up in knots just thinking about it. Enjoyed it!''
   --Rick

Ten Minutes Before Ernst Arrived
''This had perky little feel to it,I like the way you played the Chromatic most of the track!''
   --Bro.Bob

Ten Minutes Before Ernst Arrived
''Nice stuff Eric!I wouldn't have attempted this on a chrom, but maybe it is worth a try for me too. Not perfect (doesn't need to be) but I like the melodic playing very much.''
   --BlueInGreen

''As far as I'm concerned there will be no butt kicking here.....just smiles of pleasure from a good post.....''
   --Peter Holliman

Ten Minutes Before Ernst Arrived
''I think you did a fine job on this track...Tinus's melody is very captivating and a lesson practiced and learned has been achived...very good Eric''
   --Steph Wilson

Ten Minutes Before Ernst Arrived
''But still think you did.... a Sweet playing Eric''
   --RonDutch

Ten Minutes Before Ernst Arrived
''@ RonDutch: I had just assumed you were being facetious! Being Tinus takes more skill and practice than I have available to me, though I would like to work on it..''
   --Eric Martin

Ten Minutes Before Ernst Arrived
''Sorry meant Erik in my comment to you!!!''
   --RonDutch

Ten Minutes Before Ernst Arrived
''Thansk a lot for that. Especially that you played the melody. You do need a little more practice playing in F minor :) but very nice nevertheless''
   --TK

Ten Minutes Before Ernst Arrived
''Sweet playing Tinus!!!''
   --RonDutch

Ten Minutes Before Ernst Arrived
''Nice chromatic try. Makes me want to pull mine out and see if I can even start to do some of what TK can do on the diatonic.''
   --Brown Ale Guy

Ten Minutes Before Ernst Arrived
''One point of criticism: Try to be more aware of the double C in the layout of the chrom and choose which one to play: very important to play melodies on the chrom smoothly ''
   --Ed

Ten Minutes Before Ernst Arrived
''Yes, this is difficult to play on a chromatic harmonica and you did a very good job. Although I usually prefer acoustic sound for this kind of jazz BT's the sound is lovely.''
   --Ed

Ten Minutes Before Ernst Arrived
''Very melodic playing. Good post.''
   --Mc7

Ten Minutes Before Ernst Arrived
''Floats right along with the BT.''
   --Ringer

''"Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" :) Nice tone on your rare chrom harp.''
   --tonedeft

''Excellent beginning! I'd like to hear you playing more like this.''
   --Eric Stahl

Ten Minutes Before Ernst Arrived
''I think melodically, you had it going on, especially in the beginning. Get tighter with the rhythm section, and you'd have it down...''

Aristocratic Dog
''I really like your treatment. Love your tone choice. I can really hear some great harmonica chops here!''
   --Rick

Patient Blues
''@ Rick: good ear, Rick. The tonal change is from two mic's - a clean, vocal mic and my old dirty harp mic. Just experimenting. Tks for listening.''
   --Eric Martin

Patient Blues
''This is fun. Captures some real moments! I like the tonal change, but somehow I don't think it caught an emotion here. But I sure liked it!''
   --Rick

Aristocratic Dog
''Nice job. Some very blue notes in this, which is great. I like the way you attack a lot of your notes, adds character to them. I think I heard some very clean octaves as well.''
   --Matt Gunn

Patient Blues
''Nice chrom blues playing. Maybe a bit loud for the BT, but still nice''
   --Ed

Patient Blues
''I liked this on Eric. Really worked for me.''

''Good playing.Rhythmically, it sounds a little heavy for the bt IMHO-could dance in the air a little more by bouncing more off the back of the beat''
   --BlueInGreen
