Thank you so much for this. It's true it was just like a private lesson, watching Walter's hands just then I have just learned so much. The video of him in Copenhagen is a study in soulful playing not to be missed.

Nice post!

@cravenmoorrrrrrrrr he is in the Key of E. He's playing an A harp in second position. Root note at the two hole draw!
You know what I see right at the very end of this video? Modesty. Walter doesn't look big headed like so many good players you see today. Not false modesty either - which some present day players absolutely reek of - just damn great blues harp playing and a quiet modest look at the end. Now that's class!! There are a lot modern day harp players out there who could learn a real lesson in genuine modesty from this great man.

One of the greatest blues harp players of all time. The magnificent Walter Horton. Much missed but never ever forgotten.
