Didn't go very well last night. I find playing amped up really hard. Too loud/ not loud enough/ only picks up wrong notes. Reminds me a little of playing an electric keyboard. Everything seems wrong.
Oh well.

I might survive
Had a brilliant time at the pub last night. We tried 'I will Survive' it was hilarious (still not sure if it was in a good way)! Anyway it's in Am so I played my G harp in 3rd position. Cool to be able to do that and also really nice to use the G harp because there is very little blues stuff in D and I think I use it on perhaps one song in 1st position.

No two the same!
Played at the fair yesterday. Arrived late. Played about 4 songs. Great fun. I played cupping a mike to the harmonica and I think I'm getting used to it a little more.
Latest project is to try and get a bit more of the Jason Ricci slow blues learnt. It is funny to play it on the various harmonicas. Some are loads easier to pitch the flattened third then down to the major second, others I find really odd. I think the flat 3 is too flat and the second gets off even more and the whole thing is awful. Worth working on.
