Does anyone know what key harmonica Uncle South uses? I'd assume he sticks to just one or two, but I don't know. If you guys happen to know exact makes/models, feel free to share!
thanks goldbrick,that def helps. i live walking distance from the penn campus :)
xxmetal, in this video,the song is in G and he is using a C harmonica.
he also does "walking blues" in G with a C harmonica.
chances are,you already own a C,so i would start there.
if you stop in philly anytime,i can show you how to play these parts easily enough. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< what people that aren't from the jersey/philly/ny area might not understand is,south side johnny is one of the most important influences on the jersey shore sound. it is to us,kind of what like shag bands are in the carolinas. ---------- www.shakeylee.com

I saw Southside Johnny in the late seventies, when they played my college. I thought they were good,not great, a bit like the Boss but without the slogging grandiosity. More rhythm and blues and rock, good driving soul-drench sound. Johnny was a credible vocalist--no great range, but it had a convincing texture and a credibly managed raspiness that didn't overshoot the mark. Band was very fine as well; as with a lot of NJ bands, this was "bar band" on a different level. As a harp player, SJ was adequate, not great. He had good control of what he could, though, however. He could make his riffs shout and moan, he could hit the notes dead on the money, and his tone was full. No Butterfield, no Norton, no Charlie, but Johnny did good things with what he could do. ---------- Ted Burke tburke4@san.rr.com
