It's been a long time since I uploaded songs. I did a couple for you today. http://halweeks.com get lessons on autoharp! My understanding is that this is a traditional song, and was recorded by Doc Watson.

The Prizim is an Autoharp that requires the player to push two buttons at once, allowing for many more "color chords" like 6ths, maj 7ths and add9's....all of which you hear a BUNCH of in this track. This is a wonderful love song. Hal Weeks teaches autoharp in the Denver Colorado area.

Played on a Prizim Setup (Chromatic) Autoharp, which requires two buttons be pressed at once, resulting in over 75 chords and scales. Hal Weeks is an Autoharp Teacher in the Denver Area To purchase Digital Downloads and CD's, go to: http://halweeksmusic.bandcamp.com/

In 2012 I was a featured finalist (with this song) on the official Grateful Dead website as part of the "covers project" contest...one of 28 finalists! I was proud to blast across 12 million Facebook pages that day! That video wen't "bye bye" but here's a newer version, with the really good sound.

Played on a Diaprizm setup autoharp, which is a two key autoharp with double strings, but scales instead of chords on the buttons. By depressing two at once, you get simple chords. Hal Weeks is an Autoharp Teacher in the Denver Colorado Area.
