I am looking for some good song examples in the key of C. Looking to see what players use between a F harp and low F harp. I can't think of any blues songs that I have with harp in the key of C. Thanks.

Lots of Sonny Boy II Songs

Lonesome Cabin
She's My Baby
Nine Below Zero
Decoration Day
The Key (To Your Door)
Cross My Heart
Little Village
Red Hot Kisses
Sonny's Rhythm, No. 2 (Alt. Take), with some 1st. Position C thrown in there.

And....
Messin WIth The Kid (Junior Wells)

These are all "regular F" harp tunes (not low F). I'll try to think of more.

Also, the book Rock n' Blues

Also, the book Rock n' Blues Harmonica by Jon Gindick has a pretty big reference listing many songs and their keys in the appendix.
