The late Sammy Lewis is best known for his early 1950s recordings for Sun. These have been widely reissued. Less well known is this track from 1972, recorded for a small Memphis label.
Somebody Stole My Love features some of the most beautiful diatonic playing that I've heard, played in Bm on a G harp. See what you think:

Ah, thank you, Nate. I couldn't see a hyperlink function - but now I know.

Laurie thanks for posting this. It's hauntingly beautiful - I think in part because the tuning gives it a bit darker feel than when I try to do the same thing with an equal temperament harmonica.
