Subject: Re: Increasing speed on train sound

Says Jon Gindick:

>Train music is played cross harp.

Not always! In fact, in the 20s, train riffs in 1st position were about as
common as train riffs in 2nd.

>The tonic is usually the 1234 draw chord.

Yes - usually, but not always. Check out Sonny Terry, Henry Whitter, Freeman
Stowers - all of whom have recorded traintimes in straight harp.
