Big Walter Horton's "Easy" (piano & blues harp)

My first video using (or attempting to use) single-note tongue blocking (mixed with lip pursing), and using a mic with effect pedals. Inspiration thanks to Hill Country Harmonica 2, and a 40-second clip (10:50 - 11:30) from Adam Gussow's video "Harmonica Madness 2: Clarke, Norcia, Guyger, stagecraft, and the Bucks County blues":http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEX6QRmhTO4

Gear:
Harmonica: "A" Marine Band (playing cross-harp / key of E)
Mic: Shaker Mad Dog
Pedals: Ibanez AD9 Analog Delay and the Lone Wolf Harp Attack
Amp: Pignose 7-100

Performed on piano & blues harp by Todd Allen Gates, author of "Dialogue with a Christian Proselytizer" and "Hunting, Gathering, & Videogames."

My three YouTube channels:

- http://youtube.com/user/ToddAllenGates - where I discuss the ideas in "Dialogue with a Christian Proselytizer"

- http://youtube.com/user/ToddAllenGates2 - where I discuss the ideas in my book "Hunting, Gathering, & Videogames" (such as "Why do we have to work?" and "Why do we have to use money?" and "How should we define 'success'?")
