Richard Sleigh - South Winds / Feathered Nest

I recorded these tunes for a virtual SPAH convention during covid. I am playing a custom built Dennis Gruenling bullet mic through a 1938 Oahu amp with an 8" field coil speaker.

The harmonica shown in the video is an MB30 harmonica developed by Brendan Power and Zombor Kovaks. I helped them build a small run of these 30 reed, twenty valve harmonicas that allow you to play double reed bends in all blow and draw notes. The extra bent notes available on this harmonica made it possible to play these melodies...

The inspiration for this medley is John Renbourn's version of these tunes on his gorgeous album "The Traveler's Prayer"
