@GoldenFinchFellow Thanks, Josh! Yes, the mystery of the song "Oh Shenandoah". What makes it so beautiful. It's a treasure that got through to us. So many have kept it in memory. pioneers, river boat folk, seafarers and guys like me who sort of fell through the cracks. I first learned it from an old vinyl 33 and 1/3 mono lp featuring 2 folk singing ladies from Frontier Land put out by Disney productions back in the mid 60's. It's one of the first songs I learned on the harmonica, '64.

Great video, thanks men. I will make a big trip of one year, and I will bring a harmonica to learn how to play, its good to play some musica at the end of the day in beautiful places like that.

Thanks, keep coool.

@gilbertoguru Thanks, g.g.! I was so used to going out to busking pitches on city streets, so I went a couple of miles into the White Pass, among these coastal mountains pushed up by the Pacific ring of fire. Playing the harmonica is as easy as whistling once you remember the scale and are not worried about what others might think. My camera had problems with the resonant frequencies of the music, it must be programmed for speech and sounds instead and some tones were blocked electronically.
