This week I'm playing the very pretty Stephen Foster song - "Beautiful Dreamer". Hopefully you know the melody already but, if not, make sure you have it firmly fixed in your mind before beginning to play it. No hole by hole instruction. Figuring it out for yourself helps you learn the instrument. It starts on 7 blow and is tongue blocked with just a couple of bends and three split chords at the end - three holes with the middle hole blocked with the tip of the tongue (3/5 blow, 2/4 draw, 2/4 blow).
It's a nice little solo piece. Have fun!
