Here is one of my favorite tunes. I recognize very often that I play the song when I don't think about a certain melody. You can even play the first phrase on every octave on the harmonica, which fits well for tongue blocking.
Last week I discovered this funny groove and combined it with the melody to create more tension. I recorded the video today on the 16th try and had several saliva and breath issues:)

You did a really go job on that. You kept the timing and rhythm in a nice flow. It made for an enjoyable listen.

Chuck, you don’t have to play as good as anyone else on the forum. This is a place where you can share your playing and get encouragement. A place to hear other interpretations. A place to post and give you inspiration and encouragement. So never be backward in posting what you can. That’s the way to improve.

Dezzy, for the past 1-1/2 months and probably the next two months I haven't even had time to pick up my harmonica. Been tearing down a barn and getting all the dirt work done for a new barn - I think I'm getting too old for this type of work any more. When I get done in the evening I take a hot shower and collapse!!

Chuck, I know what you mean. I’ve been packing up, discarding furniture and throwing away unwanted papers ready to move out and find another home. Then already and this virus hit and agents can’t start to sell this place . So I’m stuck for probably 6 months. I’m using my time to try to improve a number of songs with my Chromatic. I finally think it’s the Chromatic I want to learn more on. Life changes quickly!

Sounds better an octave higher but this opportunity to be with Lee Marvin. I don’t know another song to play so low. But—-.

The low notes definitely made it sound 'right'....
