Now the big day is over, you gotta give some pointers on When I'm Sixty Four.

Straight harp (C)? Still got a few bent notes and possibly an over blow?


Glad your day went well.

Thanks a lot Steve/Ted!

Steve. Yes I think it is straight harp in C. This is the tune as I hear it in my head and may not be completely accurate;)

I think 2nd note in should be OB on 1 but as it takes me about 10 minutes winding up to play them and at a serious risk of dislocating my throat:) I prefer to play a quick indistinct draw 1.

This is a tab I've just roughed out

+2-1+2+3+2+3-3**+3+4
+4+5+4-3**-4
-3-3+4-4-3-3+4-4-3-3*-3**
-3+4-4*-4+5+4OB-4+4
+2-1+2+3+2+3-3**+3+4
+5+5-4-3**+4
+4-3**+4+4OB-4
+4-3**+4-3**-2
+5+5+5+5+4

Be interesting to find an alternative playing position for this one.

Thanks Wheel for your Birthday Wishes! Yes just a bit of fun really. It was enjoyable to do (but too many bends for my liking for a simple sounding little song), I'll have to pick something a bit easier if I make it to 94:)

Very cool dude. Lately my time is being taken up by some other serious junk but I agree that it would be a fun exercise to find different positions for this. Happy birthday. Will be joining the club in less than a year too. Wish I was near as good as you. Life just goes by too fast. Thanks for the tune.

That was a very nice rendition of a great old song. I too learned this song on guitar when I got to that age--A really kick ass ragtime version--but its just been so long ago I forgot it!!

Happy birthday Grey Owl!
