this is one of the very best 3rd positions songs I've ever heard. Bill was the real deal and he always will be one of the very best ever. RIP

Is this on chromatic or diatonic?

[jlodovici]

@tenbarsteam

This was a diatonic harp that Bill was playing on Blowin the Family Jewels. I am Bill's widow.

@jlodovici Does anyone know of a Brett Jensen? He use to be an agent for Bill Clarke and the Night Owls back in the early 80's. Brett was from La Habra,CA I believe.
