I said that if video of the whole song became available, I would post it. Here is Kenna Mae Reiss, a young singer/songwriter playing live at the Iron Post in Urbana, IL, in December 2014. She invited me to come to the stage and play with her on this song, and I did. Lots of fun!
She is a great performer and has great stage presence for a young performer starting out. I really enjoy her musical performances, and I enjoy playing harp with her on songs where it can add to the music.

Neat. I wish we had a venue like that around here. Beginner question, as I try to figure stuff out... B harp in 3rd position? I can take the grief of I missed it by a mile.
Thanks, fil

You are right that you could play to these changes with a B in 3rd, though the octave comping would not all be accessible and it would not lay the same. This song is in C#/Db and I used a Low F# harp in 2nd. The High F# harp would just be too squeaky on this song.
Since I bought a Low F# MBD I have never wanted to go back to the high one. I ordered an extra set of Low F# Marine Band Deluxe plates from Rockin' Ron's for $45 today, which is considerably cheaper than getting a Thunderbird.

Thanks Doug. I started out thinking F#. It fit, but, like you said, too high. I didn't know there was such a thing as low F#. Now I know. So much to learn, so little time for an old guy. Love these blues keeping me young.
