It was played on Eb harp in 12 position. I've tried to mimic style of Rhythm Willie - my favourite prewar harmonica player. I hope that you will like it :)

How has nobody else commented on this? You did a great job invoking that old feel! Your hand wahs are wonderful and your 12th position is smooth.

ridge, thank you so much for interest and kind words! I did my best to make it interesting :)
Barley Nectar, thank you so much! My next crazy idea is to play "juke" in 6th position :)

Sorry for everybody for my English! Sébastien Frémal from harp-l made a correction for my post about correct positions naming in English. The song was played in 12th position not in all 12 keys :) again sorry for that

Your English is fine! I think that anybody who is familiar with 12th position would realize that's what you meant.

Yes, please, post Juke in 6th!

Very nice. It may be overused, but I kind of want to hear that old scratchy record hiss effect added to this. :)

SuperBee, mr_so&so , nacoran , thank you so much! What a pleasure to read such kind words from another harmonica player!
ridge, I decided to learn 6 position from something slow. So I started from "Sad Hours". But after that my next step will be "Juke" for sure :)
