Thanks for the comments. Very much appreciated. I'm playing a "major 7th" tuning (Country tuning as it's called now). The song is in G - I'm using a C harp
I heard this for the first time on kootenay coop radio today and just layed dow with my eyes closed and listened to it with goosebumps, it was absolutely awesome. So beautiful. Thank you.
When you never played a harmonica, it‘s „just“ a beutifull instrumental song. It was about two years ago, i bough my first harmonica. What i hear are just amazing skills in the ability to mastering a wonderful and difficult instument - Perfect.
It's like you invented how the harmonica is supposed to sound and the rest of us are just playing catch up. So pure. So real. So good. Thanks for sharing it with us.
This is probably one of the most beautiful versions of "Over The Rainbow " i have ever heard on ANY instrument. Thanks Roly,,, very inspring in this difficult time,,DD In Los Angeles
A beautiful rendition of a classic. This is the most uniquely beautiful version I've heard yet. The harp, and who plays it, gives so much more feeling to it. Cheers Roly Platt.🙏❤🙏❤
@@RolyPlatt I was feeling a bit melancholy tonight(1/22/2023), and I listened to this video again, and tears just rolled down my face. I thought of my Dad, who was my musical inspiration, and when I was a youngster, I played the Red River Valley on harmonica while he played the fiddle. Just keep sharing your talent, and I'd really like to meet you someday. If your ever Arizona way, contact me via this video. I saved it and archived it.Take care my friend.
Beautiful and soulful. Speaks to my heart. So many players are virtuosos technically but I'll take elegant heartfelt mastery any day. Thanks Roly. You inspire and bring me home to my own true north with the harmonica though I'm a mere beginner.
Amazing , Sends shivers down my spine everytime I listen to Rolys rendition of this beautiful song,! Its now my theme song that's going to get us through the terrible hard times ahead of us (Corona Virus) God bless , be safe everyone out there !
brings a tear to my eyes. thanks Roly, someday i hope to play this 10% as good as you do it. Thanks for the inspiration and clueing me on to the country tuned harp that makes it so much easier to play it
De todas las interpretaciones esta es la más hermosa. Llega al alma, y se impregna en la piel...Gracias Sr. Platt, me inspira para seguir aprendiendo. Saludos cordiales desde La Serena, Chile
Hi Roly, I've tried many instuments, but finally what suits,, even with copd,, listen your tunes everyday,, you have helped turn a big corner for me,, I have 3 pleasures in life I hadn't before listening to you and Andre Rieu, and playing alone, hadn't used harmonica in 50+ years that was a toy really, but invested in a few now,, if only people realised how well they are now,,, but thank you so much for the pleasure you have to everyone else and to me,,, take care.
Roly,, I find myself coming back again and again to hear your rendition. Amazed every time. You have turned this classic into a Love song as I imagine couples flooding to the dance floor. I hope someday to hear you play in person. Hope I can still dance.
Absolutamente perfecta interpretacion de este tema clasico. Bendings precisos y correcto manejo de la respiracion y seguridad interpretativa. Saludos desde el sur del mundo: Chile.
This reminds me of the peace and comfort I felt watching WALL·E or Toy Story as a kid. Just the homie peace and comfort of witnessing something done with pure love.
Just Love it. Your bends are the most beautiful I have EVER hear. Piano and drum are perfect for the song. Love how you put those little bluesy licks in there on the top end. Just amazing. Thanks for letting us know about it on harp-l Jude
You can trip this rendition. I’m a new harp player and I can honestly say this has made me want to throw my harmonicas away. 😂😂😂😂 Loved it man. Brought a tear to my eye
ÑÑÑOOOO!!! Este tipo es un MONSTRUO, no me gusta comparar porque cada ser sobre esta tierra es único, pero a este tipo con su forma peculiar de tocar la armónica se le fue la mano, como rayos logra esos trinos y benders!!!!, está bendeando todo el tiempo las notas!!! y sus trinos fluyen sin que siquiera lo notes, Gracias Padre por darnos estos tipos!!!.
A lot of harp players have played this song, myself included, and I sincerely say that this is the most beautiful I have heard.
