I never do this kind of thing, but I must surrender my pride at this point and ask a "what key is that song" question. On Bo Diddley's "A Man Amongst Men" CD, what harp, or harps, does Jerry Portnoy use on the song "I Can't Stand It"? Here is a YT link, although the poster used the incorrect name for the song. Most of it can be found on a D harp, some of it fits on a G, but then it shifts into a first position kind of thing and that's where the wheels come off for me.
