Hi David,

I was wondering if you know what harpswitch Charlie makes on " Puttin  on the dog " by Tom waits 

Song in Amin , he starts on third position in the intro and then goes to some beatiful warbles ,thought it was on the low d harp but that's not the case .Allthough he uses that too in the song .. Fifth position?? Great harp work for sure !

Thanks David !!

You're correct, 5th position

You're correct, 5th position (on the Low-F Harmonica), but no harp switch, he's in 5th the entire time.
