Here's the second chorus of "Blues in a Dream". This chorus contains strong tongue slaps, octaves, bends and embouchure switches. This helps set up the next chorus which will be played with a lighter touch to create contrast in tone and mood.

Glad you guys are digging this one! Though I have played customized harps from time to time, it's usualily a Marine Band right out of the box.
Jerry - this is a flat-out killer. I doubt if I'll ever get it down like you have it, but I greatly appreciate your sharing. A truly great signature piece. Thanks.
Hey Jerry...been waiting for this one!.....I'm gonna put everythibg I got into it...Thanks for putting your signature piece out there and sharing it. I really mean that, Your giving your all to us students. Back in the day when you were out on the road did you just pull marine band harps out of the box and play this song or did you have them tuned up?
Hi Tim,
Rick is playing a Marine Band 364 which is a C harp pitched an octave lower than a a regular 10 hole C.
