Harmonica used in songs
Discussion
I have a harmoica but never learned to play it. Its a Hohner blues harp in C, keep meaning to practice but never got round to it. Every now and again I hear a song with a harmoica which sparks my interest again but never quite get into it.
This is the latest song that tripped my interest.

Can you suggest any other songs where the harmoica is prominent.

Have a listen to 'Leave a Tender Moment Alone' by Billy Joel. Harmonica is by the best ever, Toots Thielemans. This is the latest song that tripped my interest.

Here's Lee Brilleaux strutting his harmonica. Jump to 3 minutes in if you're impatient.
