If I was really blind, I would still recognize that tone and style. Great job P.T.!!!

[gazell]

Thanks Bob, always nice to hear from you...Merry Christmas to you and yours

Very nice PT.

Btw the one of the tags says "valved" may I ask what harp and what key you are in?

[gazell]

Hi Brad,

Thanks for the kind words. The song is in Ab and I am playing in cross position on a Db. I am using a Half-Valved richter tuned diatonic that I modified myself. It is a Seydel Blues Favorite to which I added valves.

Is that a Christmas music CD that I hear in the making ?

I hope so! Love it!

[gazell]

Thanks Ken, had not thought about it but you never know. Will you be coming in for SPAH?

I heard johnny paychecks music during the take this job and shove it days...your harp playing was so nice...satin sheets,leave it to me,she tried to turn me on to jesus,the list goes on&on! just love it..

[etaborya]

Great playing. Great control of vavlved bends, great swing! Playing solo for more than 3 minutes and not become boring. Great sense of music. Is it improvisation or prepared solo?

[JamesConway01]

Fantastic, PT! Great way to start my Xmas eve. You are a true one-of-a-kind: instrumentally, tonally, and every way else musically! I'd love to be able to lay down tasty phrases like you someday. Teach me, MOTH! (Master of the Half-valved)

Happy Holidays!
