The intention here was to play a head, then do a chorus using octaves (well, 'splits' anyway - can't manage octaves yet), then shift to the bottom end of the harp and finally to return to the head, but I messed up the guitar playing (as usual!) and played an extra bar in at the start of the 4th chorus. I didn't realise until I tried to play the harp part, so I just faded out instead. The title refers to being stuck in because it's raining, not to any problem with the harp's slide or anything like that!

You were so kind with me that I can't resist to send you an another piece and after I'll stop.(good for my ego ).It's a cool song.Thanks again Hank and Jodanchudan,it's first time that my harp cross the blue ocean towards your mytic musical country...Good Day to Day for me...A bientôt ...

This is a blues traditional first recorded by Bo carter in 1928. It has become a standard and has been recorded by Bob Wills, Cab Calloway, Bob Dylan, Muddy Waters etc.

I tried to play it as old-timey as I could, using alot of tongue flutters and different splits. The song is played in first position (Bb), I've tongue blocked almost the entire song (may have switched to pucker, dunno when).
I've played the theme 3 times and tried to give each chorus a different approach, tried to emulate some prewar-players techniques. In the end there's an overblow on 6 blow.

Thought I'd get in on the Christmas action while there's still time. This is a pretty rough version featuring some dodgy guitar playing, foot stomping, spoons (in the absence of authentic sleigh bells) and one of those kids' sliding voice pipe things (they probably have a name, I don't know) which my son felt the need to add at the beginning and end. If nothing else, it's good practice for 3 draw bends. Happy Christmas!
