Better Check out "Christine" again... I too have that record and I agree
that it is wonderful, but Big Walter wasn't playing 3rd position on a
chromatic, he was playing 2nd position on a G harp.

Also, I agree that "Slow Down," with J.B. Lenoir on guitar and vocals and
Big Walter Horton on harp is excellent. In fact I think it is one of the
finest blues recordings of all time!
