[jtaggart1000]

would the diatonic harmonica key of G work for the bagpipe sound?

[brevadude]

Great work! thanks to Kitt Gamble for pointing me your way, too.

[MsPaula3]

very cool!

[MorganMarvinson]

When I first heard about YouTube being a forum for people to post their own stuff, I thought it would be full of long burps and Jackass videos. I guess those do exist, but, James, ...

that was W-A-Y cool!!!

Thanks for uploading it.

[twofootsheep]

Very talented individual you are :D, made me buy a harmonica now!

[metaldetectingguy]

Awesome!

[Frostwerks]

yeah that last bit needed more do that next because i am tripping balls right now no joke but thats ok

[pmckendry]

first 1:53 was fucking brilliant. then it was nothing that special until 2:43 and that sounded like a prescribed brilliantly dosed piece of sound that start to set a mental scene for me i wish you would have contnued doing that sequence for awhile more

[harmonicazhin]

holy shit, the whole video is really good~!

[lozio9980]

5 stars and all my admiration. You are great. I'm going to show this vid to a friend who loves to play bodhran, so he can see how good a harmonica player can be. Thanks for this gift.

Thank's..

[Alkyon85]

Wow! Exceptional video! I loved it!

[TheBlitz1]

[Nupharluteum]

Awesome 5/5.

[davidlunney]

playing rhythm and melody on different instruments is very difficult for me, well done!

[venndt]

That is quite cool - thank you for the inspiration. Jacob.

[petermadcatruth]

Yo James - I'm so glad you put this on YouTube. Your live rendition of this piece was on of the highlights of the 2008 SPAH Convention in St. Louis.

[ElizabethGS]

Absolutely, MadCat...this has been one of my favourite videos by James (anyone in fact) since he first posted it. Briliant stuff!

I just love the subtle Norwegian Wood reference...Jimmy's a major talent, underappreciated, so I visit as often as I can :)

Eliz.

(I'm still mad that my camera battery ran out before your blow-off performance at SPAH)

[lonepiper47]

holy crap thats awsome

[chef094]

great vid I like it when the Hurmonoca falls out of your mouth into a reel.

[wallywalt]

Ahhh... The GRACEFUL Release of the Toss-Away Harp...

[docjazz4]

[ElizabethGS]

[tonyh1988]

Wow impressive !! didn't know you could do that on harp !!

[jasonricci]

[Barroomhero86]

[ktatan]

[pazzmanmusic]

[Hogie506]

It's very rare to see someone as talented as you performing... well... anywhere! You should be immensely proud, well done! Great work! Bravo! Maith thú! Encore! lol ;D

[JamesConway01]

Thanks. The "bagpipe" harmonica is a low D Hohner Special 20 diatonic harmonica on which I retuned several reeds to give me a drone effect.

Cheers.

[BlindDogFulton]

Can you tell me what reeds you droned and how much? Probably was 4 and 5, right?

[JamesConway01]

No, man...I was droning on holes 1 and 2, blow and draw.

[BlindDogFulton]

Did you make them a lower pitch?

I want to try that...

[leifharum]

Nice, what kind of harmonica is this? thanks

[RusRPGamer]

WOW!!!! Great!

[shankandbrisket]

Cool and awesome!

[JamesConway01]

Thank you, everyone, for the extremely kind words!

cheers,

James

[1legmidget]

AWSOME. i had to turn up my volume waaaay up, but its just awsome

[angel23c]

Hey Jim: This awesome and was so enjoyable to listen to. Much more relaxing than what my kids listen to, lol. I am so happy to finally see you on here and MS as well. Cograts and welcome!

[NotEnuffTime]

Man, this is OUSTANDING.......very nice, thanks for sharing J.

[acebrawler73]

WOW! was that all octave's or something else i've never heard of? Whatever it was it was beautiful. Brilliant.

[bradymills]

beautiful. Jason talks about you a lot, now I know why. sounds amazing.

[oscarv30]

beautiful...

[jasonricci]

Unbeliavably brilliant!!!! This stuff is so moving so orginal! I don't know what to say about it other than this is what genius is made of...sorry for the mellow drama but do you know anyone that can play like this? ANYone?

[etaborya]

Hi, Jason! Thanx for the link. Great thing! Drones and Norwegian wood and jig. I suppose Richard Hunter can do that. I can play drones too but not that thing by left corner of my mouth.

[ElizabethGS]

Unbelievable. That drone with the 2nd harp and his throat. unREAL..with finesse and quietness... If you don't look, you'd swear it was a far-off bagpipe playing in the distant moors of Scotland. Brings a lump to the throat, and some fond memories. He's so freaking talented, and unassuming to boot. Last night of SPAH he played in a mini-Jam into the wee hours with Cara Cooke, Rosco, George Brooks, Warren, Richard Smith..y'all should have been there. Brilliant.
