Correct. It is a song that I always associate with Nat King Cole, though it was a big hit first for Doris Day and was subsequently covered by many artists, but Nat King Cole's was my favourite version
PT: MAN, THAT IS FANTASTIC!! I guess I am just going to have to get that CD and copy this sucker note for note...I have been given orders from "she who is to be feared". I think I can handle the mechanics of it...I am just so cautious when I take something out to the public, etc etc. (gotta be dead on the money for me to put it up for my audiences) A wonderful piece of work!

Very very sweet Grey - You are getting good control over the partial bends and the occasional OB. I am working on the same stuff - (Autumn leaves lately) I'd like to hear a touch of reverb on your playing if you have a way to do that.
bonedog569. I am finding these style of songs more and more enjoyable and Autumn Leaves would be a great song on harp. Yes, I have cut back on the usual amount of reverb I use on my other stuff in an attempt to produce a warm, cosy effect, but the downside is a lack of depth and space that reverb gives. I'll play around with that.
I have recently tried a song called 'Stranger on the Shore' which was written by a British Clarinet player called Acker Bilk which I'll post sometime. It presents the same sort of challenge of sweet sounding bends and the odd overblow.
Thanks folks... the half valving and the low pitched harmonicas, at least for me, have moved the instrument a lot closer to a horn than ever before. I don't mean scales and riffs as much as sonic quality. My new CD "2 Days Out," has a low Db on three tunes as well as a couple of songs with low Eb. All from Seydel using the Gazell Method.
