Subject: Easy

There has been some discussion lately about what harmonica
recordings a person might start with. In the blues area I have to
reccomend "Blues Masters -The Essential Blues Collection" Volume
4 "Harmonica Classics". I can't quit playing this disc. It begins
with Juke and ends with Christo Redemptor and has sixteen other
artists between that give a great picture of the blues harmonica -
heavy on amplified harp. Rhino R2 71124 .

Cut 12 is Big Walter Horton playing "Easy". In which the
warbling "vibrato" that he flows into and out of is astounding.
Question - how did he get it? Is it in any way electronic or
all technique? Do my ears deceive, or is he also playing octives
here and there through the piece?

All answers appreciated
