Ordered.

The timing of this is right on as I had been needing some more materials to work on.

The original has some stuff (mostly tunes) that are not in the second edition. I kind of wish I could have just added to it, but then I would have had to go for 48 or 72 additional pages instead of 24.

That's great news, Winslow. I have both books-Harmonica for Dummies and Blues Harmonica for Dummies and I refer to them nearly every day. I have been getting into chromatic harp a little lately. Any plans for a Chromatic Harmonica for Dummies book?

Thanks, Dan. I'd love to do a chromatic book. Unfortunately the market for chromatic seems much smaller and it's hard to convince a publisher to go for it. I've been mulling over doing something independent, but that can be a tough road.

Great news Winslow! I will look for it somewhere besides Amazon (I have joined the Amazon boycott).

I would also be interested in a Chromatic book.
