Comment by Uncle John on June 15, 2012 at 4:37pm: Owl, Hohners are good, especially for beginners and you don't have to pay a lot. I think the six to ten buck ones are fine.   I did that song on a Hohner Blues Band, which I think is pretty cheap.

Some good harp players like Lee Oscars.   Pretty pricey. I have one and it's good.   Some like Suzukis.

Lots of cross harp teaching on the net - cross harp is the typical honking wailing bluesy thing.   A place called the Jack's Harmonica page has some good straight harp instruction - where you play melody.   That style is my main stay. If I practice some more I might improve to so-so.   Harp is fun.   Try it, man.

Comment by Uncle John on June 15, 2012 at 4:29pm: Hey RTZ, thanks! One of the first songs I ever learned was a Jimmy Rogers song. Good idea to look back in on Mr. Jimmy. Have written it down and will try to get to it. '

Right now, I have two songs ready to do with Linda Lou if they meet her approval. One (which I wrote) may not.

Will go check on Mr. Jimmy.
