I'd be grateful in anyone can send them to me at:

Can't help you with the tabs I'm afraid but am pleased to learn that Jamie Lee Curtis played harp ;-)

I am pleasantly surprised that you quote John Lee for the song as most quote Jimmy Rogers. Maybe even older however as you never know from that era.

Great song and have fun :-)

Tony Glover tabbed it, in part, in his Blues Harp book. Unfortunately he tabbed it in 1st (on a C harp) and the famous recording in C used an F harp...
Despite that I actually did learn it the way he tabbed it and then later found it fairly easy to translate to cross harp on the F

The intro though, I just had to sit down with a recording and play it over and over...was a good learning exercise I think.

I transcribed most of it. A lot of the lines are very similar, just some changes in timing or playing dirty notes instead of clean.

I'll send it to that email later today. Someday, and that day may never come, I'll call upon you to do a service for me. But until that day, accept this as my gift.
