Coming up next Saturday, I have the pleasure of appearing with a live band, organized by Steve Torok (saxophonist and bandleader) for this performance, a dance concert in Temecula featuring the music of Supertramp--I am proud to contribute harmonica to "Take the Long Way Home", as well as singing a little background.

This part is pretty easy, and I have it nailed. Still . . . wish me luck!

I'm feeling the love!
Try the part, just for fun--


Looks like Mark Rivera on harp, lots of luminaries in the band--Ringo!

And I am planning on switching to a Power Chromatic for
this part . . . it's very major--

I used to play along with that song in the late 70's early 80's when all I had was 3 harps and a radio. Good memories!
You'll do great Gnarly. Kick ass!

My biggest challenge will be on the song "Goodbye Stranger"--the lead singer (who sings beautifully in Roger Hodgson's key) will also be covering Rick Davies' vocal, so I have to cover on the "Goodbye Mary, Goodbye Jane" part--goes up to high C, yikes!
I'm a baritone, dammit!
