Exploring Bluesharp more and more

I took up learning Blues Harp 9 years ago, being a guitar player with 35 years + experience.

In this recording, I explored playing harmony harp to the lead harp part.

I used the same G harmonica to do both parts.

When my bass player added a key change to C, in the last part

of the tune, I played a high F harp and also a low F harp, which worked well.

    .thanks for my sound and feel comments. Much appreciated....I have requested edits for it, from 1:55 to 2:32. Great minds think alike ( oh, fools never differ!!) spot on  marktheharp. Thanks for listening. It is just a demo, first draft, it will evolve. 

    Gear : nothing too exciting. Fender BluesJR amp, Green Bullet mic. LoneWolf HarpBreak pedal. I have a bunch of harmonicas, all makes, models and keys. 
    I used a Hohner Crossover in G for the first section, then a high F Hohner Bluesharp and a low F Hohner Big River in the jazzy section. 

    I absolutely love the Hohner Marine Band Deluxe harps. My first choice, but I cannot always afford them, so I buy what I can.

    Nice playing.
    Although I did find the video deeply misleading. The song is called Peaches & Cream but the video clearly showed a bowl of strawberries without cream. Care to explain?
    :)
