Bill had a bleeding ulcer. A hospital in LA told him to go home and take aspirin and he would be ok. They never checked to see it was an ulcer. He bled so much he passed. That is what I was told. I met Bill years ago in Fort Lauderdale at a club. Saw him several times and had emailed him. He was a great harp player and nice guy. Sad to see he is gone but he survives in recordings. When he would kick off the band the stage would shake.
song's in Eb, and he's playing the chromatic harmonica in 3rd position. So the harmonica's most likely a C, but he's keeping the button pushed in to raise its key a semitone.

I read the book written about him and that's basically what it said. He had a bleeding ulcer. The stage would shake when he counted off the band!!
Nobody does it like that! Bill we sure do miss you.
Superb
Show this to folks that say chromatic is only for jazz & classical or that chromatic doesn't sound "bluesy".
Anyone know what this songs called?
He looks really young here. It looks like this may be a practice session in his living room?
What key is the chromatic?
A paradoxical question...
