This is sort of related to the thread in regards to blues playing on TV. Many years ago, when I was in charge of the kids on Saturday morning I used to have to sit and watch cartoons with them. I used to grab my electric guitar (unplugged) and play along with all the background music from the cartoons. Good ear training. Lots of different types of music constantly changing. The best cartoon to play along with with Garfield....everything was really bluesy.
theres alot of harp on tv and comercials,i wonder if they use real harp or computer programed for the recordings

Tommy is an awesome player and has done tons of sessions over the years. In an interview for SPAH's little monthly magazine, he has mentioned that he'd go into the studio with 5 complete sets of the entire Hohner harmonica catologue of harps, including diatonics, bass, chord and chromatics all in different pitch standards from A440 to A445, but when he had to do a session with a piano player who had a touch so heavy that in order for the piano to sound in A440 by his touch, the piano had to be tuned to A448, which is insanely high, Tommy had to order an entire set of harps tuned that way to match.
On Sanford and Son, he's also playing bass harmonica on that. The list of session credits he has is unbelievable. ---------- Sincerely, Barbeque Bob Maglinte Boston, MA http://www.barbequebob.com CD available at http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/bbmaglinte
Jimmy Bruno that worked that same LA studio circuit said he wished he played harmonica because Tommy was such high paid player and Jimmy was triple scale making six figures over twenty years ago. He said Tommy wouldn't leave the house for less than four hundred and hour. ----------
