I just listened to this and went out and dumped all my harmonicas in the rubbish bin. Then after some contemplation, I fished them all out and put myself in the bin and closed the lid!
I've been butchering this song for 55 years on chromatic harmonica. Your mastery of it along with amazing technique and taste make it an absolute joy to listen to.
wow...just wow...listened to last weekend show yesterday, excellent as always, I have missed you live the last two weekends due to poor health, but getting better day by day...thanks for your shows and posting such as this one, they are a true gift...dana via the coast of Maine
Chris, Wow! you never let US down.. Your choice of note and phrasing.. out of this world! I enjoy that you played this in the same key as you did with your Father.
You did a beautiful job playing this song. I enjoyed listening to this in my way to work and instantly I was put in a great mood Thank you for your music Vince
What harp is this ? I'm currently learning to play a chromatic harmonica, but I don't have those low notes. My starts with a C Very nice and soulful playing!
You sound really good. It reminds me of Toots Thielemans. What chromatic harmonica and key are you in. I should try and learn this song it sounds really good. Thank You! for sharing.
incredible ... iam lately looking for chr. harmonica masters on you tube (for inspiration) you Chris, are one in my book :) strange i had to type audix fireball to find you
So articulated and just Sublime!! Please tell me where I can find the music sheet for yhos song. Either diatonic or chromatic version. C or D harmonica. Thank you!!
Thanks for responding Chris. I put the harmonica down for over 20 years and recently picked it back up so now that I'm retired it's my favorite hobby and pastime. I'm going to keep an eye on your playing schedule. I live in New Hampshire and want to travel some so maybe I can see you play live someday. I just ordered your "In a Yuletide Groove" Christmas CD too. I play a lot at Christmas time....Thanks again!
Beautiful ..please suggest me a key in chromatic harmonica which has the lowest pitch ..will key of g d or a be good for me ..? I want something which has more bass..hohner has a tenor version of the C harmonica.. please suggest which key will be lowest in chromatic harmonica.
Hey, Joe again. I now, after hearing your harmonica version of this song made me purchase 5 harmonicas. Two are 12 & 16 hole chromatic's. Can't play them yet but I am trying. Some day, maybe. I turned 80 this year.
Chris has some of the best tone I've heard, and I've been playing and listening to chromatic harp for almost 60 years. If you don’t have his album “Straight Ahead” you should buy it immediately. It’s fantastic.
hey Chris, do you still have Bob's chord part for this song? I listened to his version on a R-to-R tape last week and it was beautiful. Yours, is truly amazing too. Best wishes, AJ
I play Seydel from Greg Jones out of Texas and love Seydel and Greg Jones 16:23 harmonicas Chris much as I love Seydels product and they are Great but the sound is in the soul of the player...and you have plenty soul in your playing.
Congrats Chris, EXCELLENT, 'just love it. superbly done.It's been said, "simplicity is the ultimate sophistication some times". every note beautifully displayed, and portrayed the full meaning of this melody. 'Glad you posted it Chris. What a way to start off another New Year.Keep it up, you have done, and are still, doing some nice things. BTW do you possibly remember Herb Forcier? he was from Flint Mi. We were pretty good buddies and we've done some playing, but that was a long time ago.
@@vikasupadhyay1398 Yes. Chromatic harmonica in the key of C. But this is a Seydel Orchestra harmonica, which has the lower notes a regular 12 hole harmonica does not have.
@@chrisbauermusic thanks , that means the orchestra version is same as the 14 holes of Suzuki scx minus the higher two notes in the 3rd octave . Thus making it a 12 hole harmonica .. your music is very melodious ..I keep coming back whenever I want a good music on harmonica ! Soulful
Ça m'a rappelé mon père qui est partit en 2017 qui aimait beaucoup ces vieux classiques. 😐 Bravo 👏
Wonderful music and mood! Thank You for sharing.
Beautifully played.
so lovely sound, best ever heard.
Beautifully played Chris
That is a beautiful song done in a beautiful style of chromatic good job
Sweet, tasteful. Little nostalgic... lovely.
I just listened to this and went out and dumped all my harmonicas in the rubbish bin.
Then after some contemplation, I fished them all out and put myself in the bin and closed the lid!
Hahaha! Thanks...I think
Harmonica can be your heart singing and Chris does it 100%,Thanks
Exquisite melody; Chris Bauer was born to play it.
Though I live in Scotland I would like to hear him play in one of those Long Island jazz clubs.
Great Song and Performance !
I've been butchering this song for 55 years on chromatic harmonica. Your mastery of it along with amazing technique and taste make it an absolute joy to listen to.
Thanks!! It’s a great tune!
Me, too! 🤣
This man not only mastered his harmonica....he mastered the song!

Such a sweet tone
Chris, can you tell me what key you are playing this in?
great sound and playning !
I think, it's the best sound and play so far.

mambojazz1 It’s a Seydel Orchestra which is a 12 hole tunes in C but starting on a G.
Excellent....!
TRES BONNE INTERPRÉTATION DE MONSIEUR BAUER BRAVO ALAIN FRANCE
Very smooth played, bravo!
Roli
Hello great playing and great tone. Is your harmonica with a acrylic comb or aluminum? Do you have a preference?
James Reily Thanks! These days I’ve been going back and forth between ABS and brass combs. Depends on the tune and venue
Can you imagine. Some people give Chris a thumbs down??? Go figure! These people probably can't even whistle!
jim martel Thanks!
Can I ask what key you're playing in? I can copy you a bit on a Suzuki Chromatix in C but have a feeling you're in A or something.
jim martel I always play a C chromatic
Thanks for responding Chris. I put the harmonica down for over 20 years and recently picked it back up so now that I'm retired it's my favorite hobby and pastime.

What key you’re using sir
The song is in G and I play it on a C chromatic.
no one mentioned... your "sound system" appears to be a PC? Gotta be something else there, to capture that dynamic audio range? please enlighten me.
Bravo! This was very lovely to hear
If you don't mind me asking what key harmonica are you using?
Hi JP. Its a C chromatic
+Chris Bauer thanks
Very Delicious
Nice playing Chris!

Smoother than silk
Bravissimo!

Hey AJ. Thanks as always! I think we scribbled the chords on the sheet music we had. I'll look around for it
Chris Bauer if you can bring the arrangement with you to SPAH. I want to play the chord part with you if I can catch you.
I play Seydel from Greg Jones out of Texas and love Seydel
