I've been asked to play along to " I remember you", the Frank Ifield classic. Got as far as figuring it's in A but just can't pin down the notes. Any half-good muso, with a minute to spare, out there who would do me the kindness of identifying them pesky notes? Thanks guys.

I think this might have been played on a Chromatic - Harry Pitch? The key changes back and forth in the song

Using a D harp throughout:-

For the three repeated segments at the end of the phrases -4-4-4-4-3
Then sounds like a key change around 40 secs...I remember to
try -3+5(-6*=semi-tone bend)-7 followed by softer slow notes-3-4*-4

Next the 1st segment is repeated -4-4-4-4-3

Then 'I remember to' again and repeat -3+5(-6*=semi-tone bend)-7, -3-4*-4

Slow notes at end -3+4, -4(+4ob =overblow on 4).......+6

Grey Owl, well done. You get a VG tick and a gold star. It was indeed the great Harry Pitch who played harmonica on that track.

Grey Owl, you're a gent! That really helped me get a handle on it.Only had an hour's run-through to get my head round a load of material to play for two hours, and it went well enough to get us re-booked.Thanks again, Andy.

You're welcome Andy, I'm glad it went well.

Kingley - Yippee, a Gold star :) This song is an example of a great player just using minimal, simple harmonica fill to maximum effect and that's all the public wants oftentimes.
