And I have to admit, Iā€™ve never listened to Elton John either. So, I havenā€™t heard that song!

@Ijandar this is awesome. The animation is legendary. What is interesting is that, it is re-watching that animation recently, some 25 years after, and thinking back with nostalgia about my time in Japan and one of my best friend there whoā€™s an amazing harmonica player, that made me pick up @Luke course and start learning harmonica. I wish I can play that one day.

I re-listened to the whole album of the animation soundtrack and itā€™s hard to believe they produced such a beautiful album for what some might call ā€œa simple cartoonā€. Most multi-million dollar Hollywood movies donā€™t get a soundtrack like that!
Anyway, I found the Spokey Donkey track on harptabs : https://www.harptabs.com/song.php?ID=16007

Hello there James, thanks for chiming in.

Iā€™ve found the songs which are easiest for me to learn are those Iā€™ve had buzzing around in my head for a long time.

If I can hum to a song or whistle it, Iā€™ve got a better chance of being able to play it on the harp :wink:

Go with what you know

Here :point_down: is my song ON OUR WAY on a C harp in 2nd position.

Iā€™d love it if anyone would like to cover it :star2:

The intervals are in the description. They are very easy. Just up and down the Blues Scale :sunglasses: :notes:

Oh by the way @Luke, I like your idea about one hand with harmonica and one on pianoā€¦ Still not quite that coordinated yet, but Iā€™m working on itā€¦ Feels kinda like chewing gum and walking. I get confused :joy:

I am not there yet but I wish I could play Fela on the harmonica like he does:

Although one of my friend (who is a harmonica player in Japan) reaction was: ā€œIā€™m not jealous about his technique but Iā€™m jealous what he does playing Fela on the harmonicaā€. :sweat_smile:

Super :ok_hand:

Love the groove.

I see you saved to Dropbox and created a link from there?

Never thought of that but it seems like a great way to share what we do without having to deal with YouTube.

Any tips you for sharing that might be helpful? :thinking:

Congrats :notes::dancer:

Iā€™ll go through the steps in a day or so. Itā€™s a great way to selectively share.

Iā€™m currently working on ā€œHeart of Goldā€ by Neil Young. Itā€™s a beautiful piece, and Iā€™m enjoying the challenge. The communityā€™s tips have been incredibly helpful.

Best,
