A more fair representation of what?? Boris is playing a GM diatonic and using overbends..exactly what I was looking for!
Indiscernable?? Very clear what the song is.
tmf714...I'm sorry you do not understand the reasons behind this complimentary thread....or do you and you are just being....never mind. I guess you'll post it on kazoo next.
tmg714 Brendan is great, along with Chet Atkins and Stanley Jordan, but I have to note their arrangments are much slower than our arranger/conductor insist.
Jim Tune chord progression is actually in Ab. But it starts with F chord and then go to Bb chord (with II-V turns), then to Eb than to Ab.
This is about 3 or 4 years old video, I dislike some nuances of my playing (it's actually too fast to play creative!) So I play with Bb GM customized by me, I start with 2-nd position for first 6 bars, than for 12 position to bar 9-12, than to 11 position to bars 13-16 etc.

tmf714 Tempo was not my choice. It's choice of our conductor/arranger. ---------- Excuse my bad English. Click on my photo or my username for my music.
Tmf..you didn't say the tempo was a little too fast.....you said the tune is nearly indiscernable. Why did you thank him...I just don't know why anyone would post a video without typing a few words as to why.
Boris..I had no idea changing positions was needed so much on this tune. Correct me if I'm wrong, but in 11th position the root note is 3 draw half step bend, same as 6 ob.....not a position I have really tried. So to play this tune you must overbend or have a type of harmonica that can be played chromatically? I just tackled The Entertainer in 1st position and several overblows wre required.
I know players , especially as talented as you, always find things that they could do better....still, this video is a testimony to what a great player you are.
I look forward to listening to more of your stuff when i have time.
@harpdude61-where in the forum creed does it state we must post a few words after we post a video? I was mereley pointing out one of the best American versions of the song as perfromed by Chet and Stanley. The tempo was too fast-Boris even admitted it-he has no control over the conducter and the other musicians. Sometimes the european flair on an American tune just doesn't work-this is one example.
