Son, yeah, before this program's over, I think we have to have one more harmonica piece.
Okay.
Let me tell you out there, in case you're wondering how Sonny gets these sounds out
of the harp, he plays it upside down.
Well I mean it's like most people pick a harp in the key of G and they play a song in the key of G.
G da da da dee dee dee dee goes out in out in out in in out, but some plays just the opposite.
This is the old time blues harmonica style where you get a G harp and you're always playing D.
You get a D harp and you're always playing A.
And you get a C harp and you're playing G.
That's right.
_ In other words, you play _ _ out _ in _ in out in out _ _ in out.
Well, take off Son.
Poodin' the blues.
You can't do nothing wrong so long as you stay that way.
[N] Easel.
