This song comes from Track 1 of my 2003 CD release "Serious Fun.” I use an A Diatonic Harmonica in 2nd Position (Key of E). Note that the song has two heads, with Head 1 coming back at the end of the song, and Head 2 being used between soloists. Normally, solos start at the beginning of the form, but in this song each soloist starts from the V (bar 9 of Head 2). You’ll also hear a bridge at the end of each solo (IV I IV I IV I ii V) to bring Head 2 back. I have included harmonica notation for those that wish to study the song. For those who play with a band, this is a great song to showcase all of the musicians. I hope you enjoy.
Music Notation: Written in C Score (as if you’re playing on a C Harmonica in 2nd Position, Key of G)
Education: If you would like to learn about the techniques used in this song, join me for lessons at BluesHarmonica.com
Harmonicas: I play Hohner Harmonicas customized by Joe Filisko (FiliskoStore.com)
Musicians: John Garcia (Guitars), Steve Czarnecki (Organ), Steve Lucky (Piano), Randy Bermudes (Bass), and Paul Revelli (Drums)
Recorded At: Different Fur Recording in San Francisco, California
Mastered By: Paul Stubblebine at Paul Stubblebine Studios in San Francisco, California
