For Georgia, I like first, second, and 12th positions about the same,
depending on my mood and the preferred key of any vocalist sitting in.

For Summertime, 4th position is my all time favorite, but first and second
also have a lot to say for themselves, especially as regards high and low
notes respectively.

I have a natural minor harp, but never use it. Surprised, eh?

I have experimented with the natural minor, though, and it does some
really nifty stuff when you try to play "positions" on it. I never sat
down with it seriously, though, to analyze what was going on. (Yes,
sometimes I just sit down and jam, just like most of us ;-)
