"Skip it" was actually played in 3rd on a solo-tuned harp (according to Pat Missin) on the "Can't Keep Lovin' You" album. Sounds really cool.. http://www.patmissin.com/ffaq/q20.html ---------- 4' 4+ 3' 2~~~ -Mike Ziemba Harmonica is Life! Last Edited by slaphappy on Jun 16, 2015 2:35 PM

The next time he said more like 'don't hold your breath'. Probably over a year since I asked. It's a shame I think. It was a handy resource.
slaphappy 112 posts Jun 17, 2015 8:04 AM	thanks SuperBee, I checked with him too and he says it's lost. somebody's gotta have a copy tho.. I'll give it a day or so and then maybe start a new thread about it. ---------- 4' 4+ 3' 2~~~ -Mike Ziemba Harmonica is Life!

slaphappy 114 posts Jun 17, 2015 11:29 PM	I was thinking the same thing about the Honeydripper track! Such a cool one-chord groove.. You know Little Walter's version (Evan's Shuffle) right? ---------- 4' 4+ 3' 2~~~ -Mike Ziemba Harmonica is Life!
