Hi everyone

Going a bit pre-war harp here, but does anyone know how to get the trill-like sound that Deford Bailey uses to open Davidson County Blues? (It's a technique that John Lee "Sonny Boy" Williamson I also uses in his harmonica solo of 'Shake The Boogie.')

Practise rolling your rrrrrrrrrrrrrrr's but on an exhale into the 4 then hit the 6 blow 5 draw 4 draw. Hey everybody, how's everybody doing?

When you hit the 6- blow it 4 times short and sharp as a tongue block before 6 blow 5 draw 4 draw.
