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

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

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

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...)

[NoPleasureNoPain]

the intro is just better than alot of peoples well done

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

[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....

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