description says you are playing a harmonica in A. don't you play a C harp?

@surrealIdeal

I play whatever the piece requires. This piece requires a Melody Maker in the key of A.

[surrealIdeal]

@lightninrick that's so strange, cause the song is in G, and I was convinced you were playing a C harmonica. Sure it's in A?

[lightninrick]

@surrealIdeal

I see what you mean. First, Lee Oskar Melody Makers are named for 2nd position, not 1st, so what would be a C harp in standard tuning is called a G harp for a Melody maker. It's possible that I used a G harp instead of an A, so you might be right.

@lightninrick I see. And I didn't know Lee Oskar Melody Makers are named for 2nd position...

Probably the best unaccompanied solo harmonica player working today, on a level with Joe Pass, Oscar Peterson, or Bobby McFerrin, on their respective instruments.

(I happen to know that he is also sensational in a band context, as well.)
