I love the Seydel 1847 harmonicas... I bought a bunch of them from Rupert Oysler at several Columbus, Ohio Buckeye Harmonica Festivals when they first came out... years ago now ! I started playing in 1978 after discovering Norton Buffalo on a local PBS Austin City Limits TV show. Basically, the only harmonicas available were the Hohner models, and a good friend of mine (who played in a local bar band), recommended the Special 20's...I also bought some Golden Melodies... they were sort of a hit and miss as far as quality goes back then... then the Lee Oskars came out, and I really loved them, especially the alternate tunings... they played great and lasted a long time before I had to re-tune them ! Hohner had to up their game as far as quality goes, thanks to Lee Oskar and Seydel... and thanks to Hohner customizers like Joe Filisko who made the Hohners play SO MUCH BETTER !

Just one comment. SERIOUSLY. Well done. We played his song for 20 plus years and we never tired of it, And it was one of the most requested songs on our play list which was huge. Loved your version. Thanks

Heather do you know or have you ever heard of Grace Potter? She does this song, and she actually did this song with is it Anne Wilson? I always get them mixed up. But if you heard Grace Potter sing this say with your eyes closed and didn't know who was doing this you would swear it is Ann from heart when they performed this song together it was mind blowing Grace is a dead ringer for Ann from heart, I hope I got the right one from heart right now I can't even remember the name of the other one I'm 71 I got old timers forgive me Lol.oh I just remembered it is Nancy, but I always get them mixed up my bad.Lol. The name of Graceses band is Grace Potter and the Nocturnals in case you have never heard of her.

I am 71 years old now and for most of my life nearly all of it except for when I was a toddler the Harmonica was my favorite instrument right up until 2019 or 2020 I heard and watched a guy play the panflute which is a beautiful instrument in my opinion the sound that come out these is almost Erie ,hypnotic,mesmerising spiritual and enchanting I absolutely love that instrument so now it is a toss up which one is my favorite, I guess it depends on my mood. And they both are easy to bring along with you where ever you go. I love your music, keep on blowing ,sucking and plucking you will always be happy where ever you go.

What a journey! Since you where a toddler? Amazing! I keep lots of cheapy harps around the house for the kids and sell 10$ ones for kids at my gigs. I need to google a pan flute! I will check that out after this message . Did u ever experiment with tunings or one of those giant chromatic harmonicas?
