Hi David,

I'm a long way from studying first position but I've noticed on your harmonicamasterclass site it lists La Cucaracha in 2nd position. Other places I have seen that it was in 1st position. Are there two differrnt versions in different posituons that you are aware of?

I noticed there is a version he does that is included on the album "Fine Cuts" but also another version on the album, "The Soul of Blues Harmonica". Do you know if they are both 1st position A harps?
