along with the radio. Anyways, since I only had this one harp on me at the During one song I noticed I was playing some good sounding stuff but in a out that I was playing in the key of G on a D harp. Using our convention would call this 12th position. Anyway, it worked out well, except that the but I was able to avoid this note when it didn't fit (sometimes it did fit, example when the chords went to D). Anybody out there actually use this postion on a regular basis? What songs, harp falls on the draw7 so it's nearly impossible to get the note flat by TIA for any info or anecdotes you can share with me concerning this weird

heads. He likes to call it flat first position in his video. >or types of songs does it work on? The fourth note of this G scale on a D >bending (draw6 is only a half step down from there in pitch)...or is it? But that 6 overblow gives you the major scale (Ionian) you're looking for,
quite a bit in jazz and fusion music (Ionian or major scale is the next that starts with this scale as the basis from which all others are derived. boppin' clan were big on b5s or #4s that define this mode). I also backed into this position by trying to play with some Sonny Terry on can get the minor third fairly easy (for blues, jazz minor) by nailing that still can't do this :( ). The flat 7 also comes in for blues, but with more bend. It's a pretty 'major' position.

I also received a personal reply from Randy Lilleston (thanks again you are right about Texas Heat and Darrell Nulisch. I guess I should have message, so I really wasn't certain about all of the cuts from the CD. Thanks the tape speed which is probably the culprit in this case, which is good since it is indeed a great CD as you and Randy have atested and I must try and Thanks again, wlgrog~ae.ssu.umd.edu DATE: Fri, 28 Oct 1994 14:06:57 CDT
>basis? It is my understanding that this is Howard Levy's favorite position. He on the circle of fifths). He calls it 1st Flat because on a C harp this
So the main 'advantage' to the Crystal Balls Mic is a "better pot"? "hottest" ones.... Also, I did hear something about the elements that this is why the new mics don't sound as good as the old ones... mic... something about exposing it to moisture... not too much...
didn't like that sound. Sent it to Rod Piazza and got it "hot rodded" swears that Rod made is sound much better... fuller... fatter... hotter...
places to get this much good information. (Kevin sure ain't giving away
