Big Walter Horton recorded this under the title of "Easy" but it's the same melody as Ivory Joe Hunter's hit "I Almost Lost My Mind". I throw in "St. Louis Blues" in the middle which Walter did when he played it live, though not on his original recording.

A harp in key of E.

Wow! One of the best benefits of this website is being able to listen to Jerry perform.  Worth the price of admission.  That was sweet!
