justjoe's "Feline Mellow". .    @Harplayer - Check out the Open Mic for the amplified version.    --justjoe

Cas's "I Hear Ya Mabel May". .    Welcome to the site Cas! Way to jump right in off the deep end. Where are you from?    --Brown Ale Guy

floppy lips's "Blues Soup". .    Interesting cut. Cool. It's clever how you come up with lyrics.    --Harplayer

Brett's "She Wants Some Bone". .    Skillfully played with a sweet tone. Octave put in very nicely with some well placed Wah Wahs. Very controlled exact note playing on the bending    --Harplayer

Cas's "I Hear Ya Mabel May". .    That was amped up and sounding really good. You know how to get the sound. Welcome to the site.    --Harplayer

Frosty's "Quite Wonder". .    Beautiful sweet and mellow matched the backtrack very well. I liked how to worked with the other players in the band by backing out at the appropriate time, and coming back like a champ.    --Harplayer

justjoe's "Feline Mellow". .    Sounded kind of - feline mellow...    --Kingobad

Ringer's "Go On And Get It". .    Nice tone from the Kazoo. Good job.    --Harplayer

justjoe's "Feline Mellow". .    Nice and relaxed. Sounded real good to me. Would like to hear the same chromatic ST played through your Tweed amp. Some very interesting licks and a pleasing tone on this cut.    --Harplayer

Frosty's "Quite Wonder". .    sweet and sultry Veijo - love the way you get the flowing riffs - tremolo effective - well done!!    --htrain

Ringer's "Go On And Get It". .    solid tone there!! - nice flow to melody and warbles working well - good one!!     --htrain

justjoe's "Feline Mellow". .    good for you to explore the "big stick' - nice tone but agree with comments re"tentative - good melody lines    --htrain

Frosty's "Quite Wonder". .    Very nice. Your harp playing sounded very horn like.    --justjoe

Ringer's "Go On And Get It". .    Sounded nice to me. I thought it was well mixed and I liked the variety from your normal stuff. It sounded different to me.    --justjoe

RonDutch's "I Need You Back". .    A very pleasant listening experience. I liked this one. It was very nice and mellow.    --justjoe

slidelick's "Basic Jazz 02". .    No complaints from me and I'm a purist. I liked the effect, but it didn't sound much like a harmonica to me. Well done.    --justjoe

Cas's "I Hear Ya Mabel May". .    Cool approach with chord playing. Welcome!    --Ed

Frosty's "Quite Wonder". .    Mysterious and sultry Veijo. I can hear this drifting on a tropical breeze down an alley in San Juan PR from a late night club. The dancers like it too.    --Brett

Ringer's "Go On And Get It". .    I like the chord bark you get Ringer. The four draw is good for wailing but try to bring in some lower notes like two draw bent for variety and bite.    --Brett

justjoe's "Feline Mellow". .    Good to hear you try out the big harp Joe. More tentative than your great diatonic playing but definitely some good chrom techniques being developed!    --Brett

Midnight's "Rons Blues". .    Lots of feeling and some nice licks. Also some out of tune notes. I liked the vibrato.    --Frosty

floppy lips's "She Wants Some Bone". .    Not your best playing allthough there were many nice moments. I hear some intonation problems with some notes.    --Frosty

slidelick's "Basic Jazz 02". .    Interesting experiment. I liked the effect. With a bit more groovy playing this would have been excellent to my taste.    --Frosty

RonDutch's "I Need You Back". .    You got your own style and feeling always. Watch the bends.    --Frosty

justjoe's "Feline Mellow". .    Not bad but maybe you are more at home with small harps, which you play very fine.    --Frosty

Ringer's "Go On And Get It". .    Nice sound. You got it coming, now you need practise bends and groove and get the notes more controlled.    --Frosty

floppy lips's "She Wants Some Bone". .    A very enjoyable, laid-back presentation.    --Barry B

RonDutch's "I Need You Back". .    Smooth as silk Ron, very nice listen. You've really refined your playing in the past six or so months.    --Brett

floppy lips's "She Wants Some Bone". .    Wiggle you did Sander! Good but you stepped on the horn a bit much at times near the beginning. As always it has your unique style!    --Brett

Midnight's "Rons Blues". .    Good 3rd position Mid, fits the minor key BT well. Hey, where'd everybody go? There are barely any songs posted here!?    --Brett

RonDutch's "I Need You Back". .    Nice one..in control all the way.    --Larry Genius

RonDutch's "I Need You Back". .    Nice one Ron... Put your feeling in it... and made it yours!    --Kokomo Blues

justjoe's "Mr. Goecke Blues in D". .    Great tone Joe! Great track too! Congrats!    --Bluesie

RonDutch's "I Need You Back". .    Nice and rich, mellow and easy. Good listening while drinking some coffee.    --Harplayer

slidelick's "Basic Jazz 02". .    Sounded like a duck playing underwater. Thought my media palyer was shot at first. Points for experimentation.    --Ringer

floppy lips's "She Wants Some Bone". .    Nice to see someone with the "bones" to jump right on the train and ride her. And ride her you did.    --Ringer

djazznbluzz's "She Wants Some Bone". .    I threw my 2 cents, I mean 3 points in. That bone takes a long time but it was worth the wait.    --Ringer

Midnight's "Rons Blues". .    That was sweet! 3rd position is nice when you play it that way. Deep rich tone with a touch of vibrato.    --Ringer

P-J's "Rons Blues". .    Wow! Your mind heard different things than mine when I listen to this BT. I liked what you heard! Why not be a sheep herding Russian soldier, Sounds like a good combination with extra benefits!!    --Ringer

justjoe's "Mr. Goecke Blues in D". .    Nothing fancy but everything in the right place    --Ringer

Ed's "Take It Down A Little". .    Blues drippin from ya there Ed. Real sweet expressive.If I could lay er back that far I'd try to lay er back even a tad more.    --Brown Ale Guy

Frosty's "Laloo". .    Latin all the way. Nice contrast high to low.    --Ringer

BeelzeBob's "She Wants Some Bone". .    you got the horn working !! The whole works ! Would have love to see how you would have entered the BT earlier. Nice stuff    --Ringer

Mark Wilson's "Rons Blues". .    Don't know the position but it certainly worked for you with your ability to hit those bends. Well done!!    --Ringer

RonDutch's "I Need You Back". .    sweet haunting opening - nice tone and clean articulation with flowing note patterns - high end working well - liked the note bleeds at 2:35 - nicely done Ron!!    --htrain

slidelick's "Basic Jazz 02". .    love it - very cool effect - obviously could be overdone BUT for something like this - totally cool - great melody lines and rhythmic patterns - good one!!!    --htrain

Ed's "Take It Down A Little". .    clean and nicely under control throughout.    --Ringer

slidelick's "Basic Jazz 02". .    I do like electronic music - it's a cool experiment to make a harp sound like a synth. What still comes through is your sense of melody and controlled playing. Kraftwerk would welcome you up for a tune or two with that pedal!    --Brett

slidelick's "Basic Jazz 02". .    Your playing is tasteful and imaginative. I really don't like the tone. Sorry. I am not a fan of electronic type music. I do admit that it is clever.    --Harplayer

floppy lips's "She Wants Some Bone". .    Good playing.    --Harplayer

djazznbluzz's "She Wants Some Bone". .    I won't give you points because you don't want them. Did you play the Bone on this? Great job. Nice acoustic tone on the harp.    --Harplayer

Midnight's "Rons Blues". .    I liked your take on the tune. You make a deep resonant tone. Enjoyed listening.    --Harplayer

P-J's "Rons Blues". .    Cool this sounds like a chromatic harmonica to me. Well played.    --Harplayer

justjoe's "Mr. Goecke Blues in D". .    I always play your songs over and over because they sound so cool. Your tone is something I want to copy. I wish I could get a lesson on tone from you especially how you set up your amps and mics. You have that brown over driven tone that everyone wants.    --Harplayer

Frosty's "Laloo". .    You always get cool tones out of your instruments. Imaginative playing, blending in well with the backtrack. Good listen.    --Harplayer

Ringer's "Rons Blues". .    Tastefully done. Good job with it keep them coming in third position.    --Harplayer

BeelzeBob's "She Wants Some Bone". .    You came up with some nice ideas. As a harmonica player I would have liked to hear them sooner in the tune. But I can see how you might want to lay out if you where playing out with a band to show them you won't step on them. Cool playing.    --Harplayer

Ed's "Take It Down A Little". .    Sweet tone full of feeling.    --Harplayer

Mark Wilson's "Rons Blues". .    Wonderful playing. Nice tone smooth licks. Technically very sophisticated. Enjoyed listening too.    --Harplayer

Mark Wilson's "Rons Blues". .    Really cool playing. Very nice sound to it.    --justjoe

Ed's "Take It Down A Little". .    Nice playing Ed.    --justjoe

justjoe's "Mr. Goecke Blues in D". .    @moablues - Recently, I was told that a lot of people recording new music have been using the 520DX to mic stuff. I thought I'd give it a shot. It seems to work pretty well. Plus, I've got cable problems on my other dynamic mics.    --justjoe

justjoe's "Mr. Goecke Blues in D". .    Like you say nothing fancy..but great 'brown' tone.Why are you using a 520dx as a amp mike!? Mind you it seems to work,JT30 and a bullet what a mix.    --moablues

Frosty's "Laloo". .    another cool track from Frosty    --moablues

Ringer's "Rons Blues". .    yeah 3rd is really those 2 and 3 hole bends.But when you think of it those are the same bends you(can) play in 2nd position on the V chord.You are serious about the Harp..liked it.    --moablues

Midnight's "Rons Blues". .    Nice, clean recording. Loved your tone on the low notes.    --Vandelay

Ed's "Take It Down A Little". .    Nicely done ... distinctive phrasing and feeling.    --Barry B

djazznbluzz's "She Wants Some Bone". .    I got a laugh out of those comments. I liked the playing, never enough trombone in the world - but no points for you! :-)    --Eric Stahl

djazznbluzz's "She Wants Some Bone". .    OMG, Ed voted. 3pts, oh my aching Ego. How will I ever recover? Hahahahahaha Thanks Ed LOL    --djazznbluzz

BeelzeBob's "She Wants Some Bone". .    Cool jazz on a 'difficult' track.I think you should of maybe come in a little earlier though ;-)    --moablues

Mark Wilson's "Rons Blues". .    you are wringing some great emotion out of 5th..it tells a story like harp should.    --moablues

Ed's "Take It Down A Little". .    made a slow blues swing...great tone too.Great track imo    --moablues

Vandelay's "Go On And Get It". .    nice easy style but maybe needs some more varety around the phrases?    --moablues

slidelick's "Solo_1". .    you seem to know your way round the harp,off the beat sometimes but a good track    --moablues

djazznbluzz's "She Wants Some Bone". .    I'd prefer no votes. In fact I have requested this several times. I wish Rick would put in a way to turn them off if you don't want them. I don't give points either only comments. I know Ed and some others feel the same way.    --djazznbluzz

djazznbluzz's "She Wants Some Bone". .    Nice expressive playing. Nice BT. Here's 5 for you. There are times when people leave comments on my stuff and don't vote. No big deal to me. Three is better than zero.    --justjoe

djazznbluzz's "She Wants Some Bone". .    Well here's another 3 (+2) points Dennis ;-) go figure!! - seriously another wonderful take, both on the bt and the harp play - what I really dig is the accurate yet expressive notes you play in the riffs and melody lines - sweet stuff man!!!    --htrain

djazznbluzz's "She Wants Some Bone". .    So, some people voted 3 points for you. What's the big deal? They don't mean anything anyway!    --Ed

Ringer's "Rons Blues". .    good one in third - nice tone and melody lines work well - note bleeds effective - good one!!    --htrain

Ringer's "Rons Blues". .    Very enjoyable Dan. Much tighter than your last attempt at 3rd. Cool.    --Lips Angelo

djazznbluzz's "She Wants Some Bone". .    Well I see some jealous asshole, probably harpn4fun, is still throwing me and others 3 points. Don't matter bro, my songs usually go gold anyway (I don't care as I usually take my songs down after a few days if I'm around)    --djazznbluzz

Vandelay's "Go On And Get It". .    Good laid back stuff VanD. You should take the time time to listen/comment on others posts as well.    --Lips Angelo

Ringer's "Rons Blues". .    Keep up the good wor. Ringer! Check out Ricci's video "3rd Position Made Easy" at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qs4nD2yWd4k I been really tryin to work that stuff this weekend to improve my low end.    --Brown Ale Guy

Brett's "Empty Bed". .    Well done, Brett    --Eric Stahl

RonDutch's "Flavour Devine". .    Some moments were not as strong as others - but a good upload    --Eric Stahl

P-J's "Rons Blues". .    You ought to be a choral director Peter, you certainly can direct yourself well on the vox! It was a cool counterpoint to your nice harping.    --Brett

justjoe's "Mr. Goecke Blues in D". .    You're too modest Joe. Great bread and butter Chicago style march. Always a crowd pleaser.    --Brett

Frosty's "Laloo". .    Nice Latin feel, love the low end work contrasted with the high notes Veijo.    --Brett

Ringer's "Rons Blues". .    Good use of 4 and 5 draw. Now, as Mark advised, kick it up a notch with some low 3rd position notes - 1 draw, 2 draw full step bend, 3 draw full step bend. You're on the way!    --Brett

Mark Wilson's "Rons Blues". .    You must be living in the woodshed Mark! You go away for a while and come back with a whole new level of playing. I'm not even sure what 5th position is supposed to sound like, but this is very nice!    --Brett

P-J's "Rons Blues". .    Reminds me me of "Einsamer Hirte" LOL. nice work on this Goatherder . And now for something completely different.    --augiethedude

Frosty's "Laloo". .    Nice rendition of this BT Frosty. The changes are a little tough with the Diatonic . Good job!    --augiethedude

Ed's "Take It Down A Little". .    Beautiful slow blues Ed. You made some terrific melodic runs up and down the harp.    --Brett

Vandelay's "Go On And Get It". .    Solid job Van. You seem to be hanging around the middle of the harp a lot. Maybe bring in more low notes, like 2 draw bend for variety.    --Brett

BeelzeBob's "She Wants Some Bone". .    Way to go BB! That's some deep jazz feeling.    --Brett

Brett's "Empty Bed". .    Fantastic Brett, im so proud of you, you have come a long way and you never gave up, well done    --Lindy Harper

Lips Angelo's "Expired Tags Blues". .    Nice swinging bluesharp playing, Mike. Jawohl!    --Ed

justjoe's "Mr. Goecke Blues in D". .    You are my favorite player, love your sound    --Lindy Harper

P-J's "Rons Blues". .    Very lovely playing as always    --Lindy Harper

Brett's "Empty Bed". .    That was a very special version of St. James Infirmary, Brett. Some nice chrom work there!    --Ed

RonDutch's "Flavour Devine". .    You were feeling your way around a bit, but you came up with plenty of excellent ideas. Tone was a bit thin in parts, but overall, this was a very very solid take!    --Mark Wilson

Brett's "Empty Bed". .    Didn't know you had it in you Brett. Very respectable job on the chrome, and your best vocals yet.    --Mark Wilson

Lips Angelo's "Expired Tags Blues". .    Some good stuff in here, but this track also points out some glaring weaknesses in your playing. Your control of the 3d bend, and timing especially. That being said, there's a lot of very good stuff in here that you weren't capable of just a year ago.    --Mark Wilson

djazznbluzz's "My Man Mingus". .    Well, you made it work all the way through, playing way more than I thought was possible on this track. Impressive!    --Mark Wilson

slidelick's "Solo_1". .    Timing and flow, not so good. Bends, phrasing, and control over the instrument, excellent!    --Mark Wilson

Vandelay's "Go On And Get It". .    Nice laid back feel, but tune could have used a bit more variety. Overall, a very solid take!    --Mark Wilson

Ed's "Take It Down A Little". .    Best blues tune I've heard out of you. Plenty of sweet bends, and bluesy phrasing. Good one!    --Mark Wilson

BeelzeBob's "She Wants Some Bone". .    Hell yes, sounded like a horn! Beautiful job on this challenging track! Excellent!    --Mark Wilson

Ringer's "Rons Blues". .    You're doing a good job finding the sweet spots in 3rd. When you work the bends from the 3D down into your play, you'll find another whole world opens up to you. Nice take!    --Mark Wilson

Frosty's "Laloo". .    Back at you Frosty! Some sour notes, but the feeling was definitely there to compensate. Like when you drilled into the notes on the low end...    --Mark Wilson

justjoe's "Mr. Goecke Blues in D". .    Yee haw, killer tone out of the champ clone! Nicely done traditional Chicago blues!    --Mark Wilson

P-J's "Rons Blues". .    Definitely got the goat herding, gypsy thing going. Trippy vocals!! You're a strange dude Peter. I mean that in a good way!    --Mark Wilson

BeelzeBob's "She Wants Some Bone". .    Props to both the 'keyboard trombone' and the 'harp horn' for outstanding tone and congruent play - impressive and creative for sure!!    --htrain

Mark Wilson's "Rons Blues". .    had to do a little 'homework' to fully appreciate what you did here!! - impressive to explore such a different position with the needed bends - well done!!    --htrain

Ed's "Take It Down A Little". .    sweet crying harp playing - expressive and accurate - very nicely done!!    --htrain

Ed's "Take It Down A Little". .    Don't know what "it's green" is but good harp players can make anything sing. You're singing here!! Less was better with BT then throwing in to many notes.    --Ringer

Brett's "Empty Bed". .    Funeral march in New Orleans! Great job Brett.    --BlueInGreen

Vandelay's "Go On And Get It". .    I liked it. Nice laid back blues.    --Ringer

slidelick's "Solo_1". .    You got some chops that are hidden by that mic I think.    --Ringer

djazznbluzz's "My Man Mingus". .    Don't know Mingus but I love what he gave you. Lots of different melodies all rolled up in one.    --Ringer

Lips Angelo's "Expired Tags Blues". .    Good beat, with a nice mix of chords and you've got a winner.    --Ringer

Brett's "Empty Bed". .    Very nice chrome and vocals. Chrome had nice horn sound at times. St James was perfect fit for this BT.    --Ringer

Frosty's "Laloo". .    Top performance as usual from you.    --Larry Genius

Ringer's "Rons Blues". .    Smooth and enjoyable to the ears! thank-You    --Larry Genius

slidelick's "Solo_1". .    Another Tinus or Howard Levy in our midst, playing a C harp exclusively? I admire your dedication, no easy task. This was cool first position stuff.    --Brett

djazznbluzz's "My Man Mingus". .    Awesome - Mingus is one of my jazz gods - you really captured his style wonderfully!    --Brett

RonDutch's "Flavour Devine". .    Hey Ron, cool to hear you on chrom, very nice!    --Brett

Mark Wilson's "Rons Blues". .    Ok, maybe a couple of notes not in perfect pitch, but who cares when the feeling is this strong. I really liked your emotional playing here Mark.    --Frosty

djazznbluzz's "My Man Mingus". .    Great playing D. I don't know the jazz guys that well. Mingus, Monk.....    --Lips Angelo

Brett's "Empty Bed". .    Great stuff Brett. I still don't get my chrom to play it like this. Good lyrics.    --Lips Angelo

RonDutch's "Flavour Devine". .    Sounds great Ron    --Lips Angelo

BeelzeBob's "She Wants Some Bone". .    I knew you can do better than in the previous track. This is great.    --Frosty

slidelick's "Solo_1". .    Yes some hesitations and problems with time especially when you play overbends but still well played. I would like to hear you play with an acoustic sound instead this distorted sound.    --Ed

Vandelay's "Go On And Get It". .    Sounds good. Maybe try to use more notes/holes on the harmonica to create more of a melody next time.    --Ed

Mark Wilson's "Rons Blues". .    Several notes and especially chords are out of tune. Not as good as your usual but you had a good idea where wanted to go. Most players have no clue what they are doing when the play 5th pos. Not easy to do. I'm not even going to try to play blues in 5th    --Ed

BeelzeBob's "She Wants Some Bone". .    Very, very, very good. Nothing else to say about this.    --Ed

BeelzeBob's "She Wants Some Bone". .    Nothing but creativiry went into this one...thank you!    --Larry Genius

BeelzeBob's "She Wants Some Bone". .    Good one Bob. You definitely caught the essence of this track. Even the "sound" you used made it more horn-like. By the way, I played the Trombone on the keyboard. It is one of the most real sounding patches.    --djazznbluzz

RonDutch's "Flavour Devine". .    Another nice chrom effort, I liked your exploration here. A couple awkward spots, 3:18 being one. Intro notes danced, hooked me right off.    --BeelzeBob

Brett's "Empty Bed". .    Wow, you should do more chromatic. Singing good, too. Even better than your last SJI, if memory serves.    --BeelzeBob

Lips Angelo's "Expired Tags Blues". .    Good playing as usual, amp don't hurt.    --BeelzeBob

djazznbluzz's "My Man Mingus". .    5, of course. Saw the last part of a documentary on Mingus. Never knew he was so messed up mentally, at least toward the end of his life.    --BeelzeBob

slidelick's "Solo_1". .    Wow, you got talent, dude. That computer mic has a thin tone that was a little hard to take, but your skill came through.    --BeelzeBob

Vandelay's "Go On And Get It". .    Nice, lazy blues, good job...    --BeelzeBob

Ed's "Take It Down A Little". .    Wow, great for a kids instrument, or most OOB for that matter.    --BeelzeBob

justjoe's "Rons Blues". .    You have an excellent touch. Like how you accent notes with your tongue slaps. Good dynamics.    --Downhome Dave

Midnight's "No Messin". .    Thick sound! For the most part I thought this was great. It did feel like you were reaching a bit to find the groove in a few spots, but magic on others. Nice!    --Downhome Dave

Ringer's "Empty Bed". .    Pretty darn good for applying a newly learned position. Liked the vocals. Do a few more in third.    --Downhome Dave

justjoe's "Rons Blues". .    Really nice 3rd position playing. Nice edgy sound in that amp.    --Frosty

BeelzeBob's "Big Ds Club n Ballroom". .    I think I have heard much better from you. To my ears you were not at home with the rhythm on this one. Maybe it is only my old ears...    --Frosty

RonDutch's "Flavour Devine". .    Nice crom sound and some nice melody lines and some of your best playing. Maybe your are a cromatic man?    --Frosty

Brett's "Empty Bed". .    Well done. Liked especially the solo starting at about 3:00.    --Frosty

Lips Angelo's "Expired Tags Blues". .    The engine started a bit slowly, but you got it working after 0:30 and from there to the end.    --Frosty

slidelick's "Solo_1". .    Good job on the overblows and such. Just as a reminder, when a b-track has been removed, you are not to use it without requesting it be reposted by the author and it being reposted.    --djazznbluzz

Harp Brothers NL's "Rons Blues". .    Trippy fun stuff HB's.    --Lips Angelo

djazznbluzz's "My Man Mingus". .    Ah, there's the answer Hank. There are NO LIMITS when it comes to creativity LOL    --djazznbluzz

djazznbluzz's "My Man Mingus". .    Heavy stuff for both harmonica player and listener. Very cool and very good!!!!    --Ed

RonDutch's "Flavour Devine". .    Swell job. I always enjoy your vibrato and now you've added the chrome to the mix with some interesting jazz licks.    --Ringer

BeelzeBob's "Big Ds Club n Ballroom". .    Nothing wrong with hanging with the boys. Harp player was more than just fine but the recording or the mixing left something to be desired. Could have carried a little softer tone IMHO.    --Ringer

justjoe's "Rons Blues". .    What I like is your ability to make it sound like your talking to me. You produce a great sound either acoustic or amped.    --Ringer

Midnight's "No Messin". .    Definitely hard to find the mood let alone to express it with your your trumpet.    --Ringer

Harp Brothers NL's "Rons Blues". .    Defintely "Far Side of the Moon" stuff.    --Ringer

floppy lips's "Machinist". .    This is right up your alley. Sounds perfectly fine to me. I must be missing something. If you can keep up the pace as you did for 4 minutes you can stay with anything they throw at you!    --Ringer

Frosty's "Machinist". .    Sounds like fun if you can do it but I can't even think that fast. You went right with the theme!    --Ringer

Downhome Dave's "Take It Down A Little". .    That's a long Bt to solo to but you obviously have a lot of tricks in your nations sack!    --Ringer

djazznbluzz's "My Man Mingus". .    I am able to get a completey leak free seal when I want to. The Mixer (preamp) is definitely over driven.    --djazznbluzz

djazznbluzz's "My Man Mingus". .    You did him justice with this cut. This must have been cupped very tight to get that tone. I am going to have to try this one. Hot jazz.    --Harplayer

Lips Angelo's "Expired Tags Blues". .    Nice rythmic chugging with some interesting licks thrown in to spice it up. Really liked what you did about 60% of the way threw the tune very controled and full toned playing.    --Harplayer

Brett's "Empty Bed". .    Great playing and singing. You have a nice voice. Full bodied tone on the harp.    --Harplayer

BeelzeBob's "Big Ds Club n Ballroom". .    Nice catchy jump tune. Well done. Nice tone, sounds like an amp. Cool.    --Harplayer

Frosty's "Machinist". .    Funky and frosty. Nice different runs and some cool chording stuff Veijo.    --Lips Angelo
