As a new harp player, I am getting really tired of playing things like 'Joy To The World' and 'When the Saint's Go Marchin' In!' However, it takes me forever to pick something out on my own (am working on 'Out On The Weekend' harmonica riffs) as I have no musical background. Any help with learning something a little more fun, but that is appropriate for a relative newbie would be GREATLY appreciated.
