It is impossible for me to put my finger on why this is so awesome... which is just fine with me. It just is.

Exceptionally good mouth harp rendition of an old standard fiddle tune. So glad this one got recorded and preserved for all generations. Thanks all for the good work.

Ahh...things were so simple back then. No "From the window to the wall skeet skeet skeet."

Just good ol' fashioned times.

My goodness, when was the last time you heard a mouth harp song? On record? This is well worth the download, as the harpist sure makes this song great. The harp CAN sound ominous at times, and this is one meeeeaaaan Mouth harpist!!
