Grey Owl 316 posts Sep 24, 2013 9:58 AM	I’m playing these two classic oldies pretty straight without backing and with a little reverb. I find these old familiar tracks handy for practice routines. I’ve gone for a slight bluesy feel in 2nd position on both songs, Somewhere’ on a Sp 20 Bb harp & 'Somewhere over the Rainbow’ on a Suzuki Hammond A harp.
