"Hi, my name is Marcus Milius. I play harmonica. I got a degree at the University of Southern
California, a Bachelor's of Music, in Jazz Studies - Chromatic Harmonica. I play and
teach harmonica here in New York City, and I'm happy to show you what I do.
""When the Saints,"" let's have a listen through. And this one we'll be playing in first position,
make it a little bit easier. So that's cue C on a C harmonica. All right, so starting
at the beginning, that first phrase, ""Oh when the Saints:"" four blow, five blow, five
draw, six blow. And you play that a second time: four blow, five blow, five draw, six
blow. Third phrase: four blow, five blow, five draw, six blow, five blow, four blow,
five blow, four draw. After you've played the four blow-five blow-five draw-six blow,
you're gonna play a five blow, four blow, five blow, four draw. Five blow, four draw,
four blow, four blow, five blow, six blow, six blow, five draw. And here's the very last
phrase, much like the very beginning: four blow, five blow, five draw, six blow, five
blow, four blow, four draw, four blow. Put it all together and you got it."
