[NoPleasureNoPain]

the intro is just better than alot of peoples well done

[AdamG319]

i guess i missed the harp.

[FilipJers]

what a great and unique sound you have, I really enjoyed this!

[richardroysleigh]

@FilipJers Thanks man, and I really enjoyed your version of Crowleys. Catchy tune - I started playing it with some other tune as a medley, but I don;t know the name of the other tune yet....

[FilipJers]

@richardroysleigh Thanks Richard! hehe yes names on tunes can be a journey in itself..

[42Villain]

This is sooo pretty

[arthur1062]

[hearts4bingoo]

hearts4bingoo

[ninjafoshoo]

I think you should speed it up just a bit in the refrain, just my opinion

[arthur1062]

fantastic playing, lovely

[rmachayes]

Sweet , Richard. Dorothy would be proud!! Well done.

[Flowhill]

What kind of harmonica do you use? 10 holes or dual 16?

[pukahsen]

This is pretty close. He uses an "A" harmonica (C works too)

#i: inhale, #: blow, b: half bend, B: full bend, -: smooth bend transition

2i 2 2i 2 2i 4i, 2i 2iB 2i 2iB 2i 5

2i 2 2i 2 2i 4i, 2i 2iB-2i, 3iB-3i

"Somewhere..." 1 4 3i 2i 3iB 3i 4, 1 3iB 2i

2iB 5i 5 4 4i 5 5i 4i 3i 4 4ib-4i 5 4

@pukahsen Thanks for posting this - I have tried to respond but something wierd has been happening with youtube. I hope this time it works - I'll get a tab together and post on my website (see above note) when I can - sometime before end of Feb

[JohnJamesMaloney]

[DannyGrease]

[MrHarmonicats]

Tabs ready? =)

[LoveLennon28]

my cat loved this!!! lol great playing!!!

[ourwhitedesert]

♥ Great!

[gerzaa9]

Do you think you could post the sheet music in numbers? :D

[lapsb]

Absolutely beautiful! Thank you so much! I don't suppose you've got the tabs written out for that anywhere? =]

[Martchester]

I watched this one, and I was sold! I drove right to music store and bought me a Harmonica and now Im trying to get it together! Thank you for posting, wish I one day can be as good as you!

[icerise]

What type of harmonica is this/ key? I want to play harmonica too. This sounds so beautiful.

[Julian16269]

sehr gut gespielt

[Ravenblazer]

im gonna cry...

[TRIXER1958]

BEAUTIFUL !!!! EXC.

[kirktorf]

Very nice.

[Hollistergurl53]

What key is the :30-:50?? Before he goes to a high note...

[devingreenwell]

Any tabs? what key marine band are you using. I have a C and I cant get those lower trumpet effects. By the way, this is by far my favorite rendition

[TeruoK]

felt the vibe all over my body and soul. thank you very much.

it would be really wonderful if you could share how to play it

[TRIXER1958]

Tromphet effekts super!!!

[Muzikman127]

Nice playing, what a great tune to put on harmonica, I might post a video response :D.

Do you overblow at all? I'd love to her 1:42 up the octave. I loved your vibrato too, espicially on the lower end.

the note at 2:00 killed me

[Muzikman127]

I'm a flautist, so when I play harp, I can play vibrato perfectly well on the blow, but on the draw, I am hopeless

[acnewman55]

Beautiful.

Any chance you'd be willing to post the tabs you played, I found some tabs for this song but they don't sound right.

Thanks for the vid. truly awesome

[rsleighharp]

Thanks, man, I will get tabs together, right at the moment I have too much on my plate, but it will happen....

[JamCamp06]

Is that a fiddle or a harp? Great to hear your mastery, Richard?

[rsleighharp]

It is a Marine Band Harmonica that I upgraded (reed work, cover plates, tuning, etc...)

[12tayres]

is that a marine band? or something better?

[rsleighharp]

It is a Marine Band that I customized for better response.

[stephanscrumhalf9]

unreal:)

[pushcartpete]

Beautiful interpretation of an old standard. Wonderful job.

[LesYeuxDeDarius]

That was so wonderful ...

Can I ask you for this favor and ask you to send me the notes you played, where you draw, where you blow. Its amazing ... I really want to play it *. *

[rsleighharp]

I will have to tab this out, but right now, I am sorry , I cant get to it for a while......

[LesYeuxDeDarius]

Thanks anyways : D

[dangeruss801]

To keep from hurting youself next time, use some lube.

[FCKEVRY1]

So far the best version of OTR for harp on YouTube...only because I haven't posted one, yet.

[marceloramires]

surprise us

[Diggsblues]

very nice. One of the few guys that can play standards

on the diatonic. You should write a book on how to play these

tunes with the positions you use.

[hivolella]

Nice song in blue harp...very sentimental...

I'like mutch, playing on my favorits.

Ivolela - Brazil

[harmonikan]

I've been playing this on chromatic for years but it sounds so sweet on the diatonic, too!

Very nicely done.

[Klerikerlord]

what do u need a chromatic harp for this song.

[rsleighharp]

I played this on a diatonic (marine band) sorry it took so long to post....

[AceOfHarps]

Very nice!  I love this song, and you played it beautifully.
