Ok It’s a bit of a Michael Jackson Fest and I know he’s not to everyone’s taste but these songs are fun to play on harp. There’s a bit of wriggle room for some improv. on all three.

Ha, you had me at bilie jean. I listened all the way to work.
It is usually stressful first thing in the morning, and I am always grouchy,
It put me in such a mellow mood I think I will listen all day.

I liked how you put the guitar riff in on BJ. I was waiting for van halens two handed solo on beat it

I’ll admit it reminded me of weird al version. Eleanor rigby is a stand out. ain’t no sunshine,
Did I hear some butterfield licks in there at the end?

Great work …………. now I can go back to being my grouchy self.

Thanks a lot guys for taking a listen!

1847 : )) I went hell for leather at the van halen lick and if I say so myself it was spectacular, but more at the epic fail end of the spectrum hence the rapid fade out.

Butterfield Lick? Erm, maybe. I have been known to subconsciously steal licks and convince myself that I came up with them;)

1847 When you paste the embed code into your post change the width and height values. I changed the vids above from width 480 to 240 and height 270 to 135
