This is a good example of what the Friday jam was like. This clip opens when Jason takes 16 bars on "Spookey". Then the others get to take a turn.

You'll see KC and Dougharps as well as others. I'm on the electric bass with one foot on a bass drum (Gussow style ??)

That was fun!

I tend to go for 4th position on chromatic on minor songs like Spooky. In this case, a G chromatic.

Thanks, Sarge! It was a fun jam.

I usually try to bring occasional chromatic harp into music at events that are primarily focused on diatonic. I love both instruments and kind of feel like an ambassador for chromatic being used in different kinds of music than might be expected. I could have played it in 3rd on a D diatonic, but Spooky was too appropriate for chromatic to miss the opportunity.
