I don't know how it is in the UK, so this is a question on American copyright law: If I write a parody of a tune, but I use the tune's melody, can I be sued, even if I change the lyrics?

Thanks

Well, anyway, it will have to wait. Ever since I saw John Lennon and Bob Dylan using a harmonica with collar, I've wanted to try it myself. I'll see how it works out, but you're right, I sure don't want to spend too much on something I may only use once.

Good advice from a very good friend. smile

Have a good week coming up!

I really wanna play "I Can't Stop My Leg" for the kids at Christmas, though, Rick. For that, don't I need a harp that will bend notes to be authentic?

I saw a guy play a Hohner C on a vid, and he couldn't bend that thing worth a guano.

I don't like root beer. My son brought me some banana popsicles this afternoon - what he used to call "nannersicles" and we enjoyed a few. Cleaning the keyboard now. big_smile

This multitalented singer hails from the Ukraine and when He comes to America, I suspect it's on a work visa, because he maintains a studio in Moscow.

Thanks, Doug

The Lee Oskar harp I found which you recommend is around 40 bucks. The collar is 20.00. Not bad, and I'll be doing three things with my body: the leg, the harp and the guitar. smile

So finally, I could conceivably play those chords on the git-tar and play that boogie riff that Canned Heat uses so much and Thorogood uses on Bad To The Bone on the harp, ya think? : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9FyQNx8oyU

It's played here on the saxophone about 3-4 bars in. da-da-da- da DA, da-da-da- da- DA (I can't stop my leg!) da-da-da- da-DA  in the 12 bar blues progression.

Can you picture that? smile

Thanks very much for your time, my friend!

ETA: I guess if the comb or something goes, it's just as cheap to replace the whole thing? Not that I'd get chunks of food in it, or anything. big_smile

So if that's a 12 bar blues progression in F, it would be played like this:

F,F,F,F, Bfl, Bfl, F, F, C, Bfl, F, F ?

I could transpose that down to where I can play it on the C harp?

Basically, I am just looking for something new to entertain the kids with other than the same old magic routines.

Hi, Rick!

Well, I do play drums, would that help. I have left right hand independence as well as in both legs.

There's that "second position" again. Seems to be a popular musical term.

No, no used, slobbered-on harps for The German Boy. wink

I'll get a C diatonic. Is there a difference between that and just a normal "C"? I know I want one that will "bend" notes.

I'd really like to try that Robert Klein thing above for the kids at Christmas. In your opinion is that a difficult piece to play without guitar?

Thanks my friend and your "girlfriend" says to tell you hello! I keep telling you two to get a room, but ya never listen! smile smile smile

My friend Rick has one on a collar which he plays along with his guitar and I wanted to try it as well.

What model harp should I start with that's easy?

Because I'd really like to play this: http://videosift.com/video/I-Can-t-Stop … bert-Klein
