Hi-
Just stumbled across your website while looking for a harmonica 'teacher'. Your site is basically just what I have
been searching for for quite a while. Thank you.

Mark,
 
Your forming of a .pdf leaves me in awe as I run this tune over my harp over and over again, I will get it done to
you ASAP but at the moment I have examinations. However it will be done within the week. I thank you greatly
for the help you have given me and on behalf of my friends who the tune will reach, Diolch yn fawr ( Thanks very much )

Hey there,
 
I use your site regularly to seek the tabs for the quantities of songs that you have and, even though I'm no
American I find your patriotic section great. I was wondering if you'd be so kind as to help me tab the National
Anthem of Wales ( Mae Hen wlad fy nhadau ) I have tried several times and failed.
 
All the best

Hey Mark,

Your site is awesome, after looking at a few of the different songs, I realize I was totally wrong with my lyrics, oops!


Thanks!

Hello Mr Purintun,

I just wanted to compliment you on your website - "Harpin' an' a whinin".  I stumbled across it quite
by accident while looking for some harmonica tabs.  It really is the best site of its kind I've seen.  Thanks
and great job!

Hello,
 
First off, I love your website! I have learned so much. i was wondering if you knew of any blue grass
harmonica licks or songs. My family in Canada loves to play blue grass and If i can jump in that would
be great. I have diatonic harps. Thank you very much in advance.

Hello Mark,

What a fabulous site!  Thank you so much for creating it.

I am looking for harp tabs to the Rolling Stones song "Not Fade Away".
Would there be any chance that you might be able to help me locate it?  I
would sincerely appreciate it.

Hi Mark
My name is Fred Kruger I tabbed this song (Such A Night) on Harptabs a while ago under the name "aussie" feel free to
make any changes if you don`t think this tab is quite right.  I`d like to complement you on your great site it has helped me
and I`m sure lots of others greatly. I might be able to help with a few other requests in the future.

Happy New Year and all the best for 2008, Fred

adding new tabs. So thank you for the music

Hi Mark - we may not know anything about harmonicas, but your web site is great! Like the animation.
You're very creative! The question is, can you play like Dylan???

Hey, my name is Steven.

 

I love the website, go to it everyday!  I noticed that you have Billy Joel Piano Man in chromatic,
could you also put in diatonic G? I have a C harp and can't find the tab anywhere.

November 24, 2007

Dear Mr Mark Purintun,

First of all greetings from India and congratulations on a good website. Thanks for all the useful information.
I have a humble suggestion: If you include information about where to include bends in the excellent tabs that
you have provided, it will be very helpful and will go a long way. This is because I recently heard that
beginners (like me) could damage the harmonica reeds by trying to bend the wrong notes(notes that will
not bend normally). So this is my request.

Thanks a lot!

just came off your web page,and thought I would jingle your
email for a short,This is phil Craggs,Bradenton,Fl.We emailed each other
a while back,thought I would see how you are doing.Here's a tidbit for
you,I was playing the harp on the Pier in Anna Maria Isl.I little boy came
by and I played,"How much is that doggy in the window",he liked that.
Today,after a couple weeks he came out again,and asked me to play it again
for him.Music does something,doesn't it?? Hope everything is OK up there,
take care and write sometime,

As ever,phil Craggs

• The MIDI files sound hideous and forced me to turn off my speakers :)     It's great for learning a song,
  but maybe not the best to come on in the background - at least not without a "shut up" button. Most
  people new website design think gadgets like this are great, but they just annoy people...... website
  design rule #1: less is more!
   
• Some of the pages are not rendering correctly in FireFox and I had to switch back to IE
• Have you thought of using DreamWeaver or some such WYSIWYG editor? It'll make your
  pages much more browser compatible, XHTML compiant and separate your style from your
  data (mixing presentation and styles is a bad idea)

Mark,
I ran across your harmonica site today,and very impressed,really enjoyed it,(put it on my favorites). I am an
oldie,75 years young and love the harmonica.Played since I was a kid,really relaxing to me,play gigs here and
there.I live in bradenton,Fl. in a seniors highrise overlooking the Manatee river,the old folks that live here won't
let me get away without a couple songs now and then.Won't bore you anymore,just wanted you to know how
much I liked you site,,

Hi Mark,

I'm glad I could help :)  I don't know what all you do with your files, but you might want to consider giving Musician 2.1
a try, as we changed the interface (how the tools are presented) considerably between 1.0 and 2.1.  It's a much more
obvious layout now, rather than the changing palette scheme we had previously.

Also, I visited your harmonica website, and I'll have to share that with my husband (a harp wannabe) and a drummer
friend of mine who also loves to play harmonica.   You have a well-rounded resource with the .mid files and additionally
the tabs.  What a labor of love!

I hope you thoroughly enjoy your music, and if I can be of any other help, please let me know.

Best Regards,
Sherry

Hello Mr. Purintun,
My name is Chris Nixon and I absolutly love your harmonica website.  I was recently in a car accident
and now I am unable to play guitar so I have used your website to try and teachmyself harmonica.  I really
appreciate what your doing for everyone.  That being said, after searching through your website I have foun
a few errors.  They are nothing major just thought i would inform you of them. 

The one error i would love for you to look at is the midi 4 file under the song of "come monday" isn't come
monday... it is "son of a sailor" both being jimmy buffet songs.  Unfortunatly there isn't a tab for "son
of a sailor" on your website and i was curious if maybe you had a tab for it because there is a midi
file for it.

I have also found that Midi 3 under "ring of fire" is actually "rhymstone cowboy"

I have also found that under the section of Harmonicat songs... Midi 1(c100) is on two songs... "Fascination"
as well as "Moonglow".  I don't know what song it really is but it appears twice under different names.

Thank you so much for your website... It has been a huge help. I sure do look forward to learning "son of
a sailor" by Jimmy Buffet if you have the tab layin around somewhere.

Thanks again,
fellow friend

Mark cant thank you enough for the site. I have been teaching myself the harmonica for a few months and
getting pretty good. But it would not have been possible without the tabs, so thanks. I was able to locate the
Canadian national anthem at ww.Harptabs.com, I dont know if they are linked on your site. I dont know if
you can help but Im having a time trying to find " Carolina on my mind" by James Taylor have you seen it?

March 13, 2007

your lessons page is excellent...the only place I could find on the web with all the different harps charted out with all
the bends...the only problem is that much of your text and images on the lesson section are overlapping making it
immpossible to read your lessons....just thought I'd let you know in case you weren't aware..

Hi,

My name is John Jeansonne, and I play the fiddle for the country/pop band, Rascal Flatts.  I'm a 36 year old Cajun, and have been fiddling for 28 years.  Now this isn't an email to "brag" about myself.  I just feel that it is important to tell you about the person who has chosen to write to you - me.  So..... I've been fiddling for Rascal Flatts for over five years.  Prior to that I played fiddle for country singer, Lee Ann Womack.

I also play other instruments besides the fiddle - Cajun accordion, harmonica, mandolin, and guitar.  When I was 13 years old (1983) I won the Louisiana harmonica championship.  In 1985-88 and 1995, I won the Louisiana fiddling championship.  Throughout my childhood and teen years I had a Cajun band.  We would play at festivals and stuff all around Louisiana, Texas, and Mississippi.

Anyway.... now that I am finished talking about myself (always feel embarrassed doing that), I want to simply tell you one thing... Thank you.  Although the fiddle is my primary instrument, the harmonica is a close second.  I just have a passion for playing the harmonica which I cannot describe.  It is such a cool, little, versatile instrument!  I just wanted to take a little time to thank you for your efforts on your wonderful harmonica website.  I visit many of them quite regularly, but yours is my favorite of them all!

I don't want anything.  It is just that I feel that many take such informative websites for granted.  However, I do not take them for granted.  So..... thanks for your time and effort in creating such a great harmonica website.

Yours truly,
John Jeansonne

Hi Mark, Went to your site this morning ,which I got from the SPAH
magazine that came in the mail yesterday. I am basically a blues harp
player who doesn't leave second position. Wow, I had so much fun with
your site, I think I have been on it close to 2 hours now. Gave me a
chance to fool around with my chromatic and really have fun with some of
the umpteen songs you have. A million thanks.

I just wanted to say thanks alot for the site. You realy did a great job on
all the tabs. There so organized, i learn like 10 times more when i play off
your site then other harp tab sites.

Anyways man I notcied that you havn't updated your site. Let me ask you tho,
please dont stop what your doing.  I love your site and it really helps me
learn. Its just great.

The only other thing i have to say is really just a request. And don't bother
if you cant or dont want to but id love to see a few more songs in the game
Department. Zelda: Ocarina of time has very nice game music to play along to.
There's a whole bunch of original songs in it that just sound great.


Either way i care less about those songs then i do about your site. Please
keep updating.


Thank you

Dear Mark,
      I am 13 years old and am learning how to play the harmonica, and if I
say so, I'm doing quite well. All of my friends are saying how well I'm
doing. It's also amazing how music can touch peoples lives, because I
started playing the harmonica and got my friend Dylan to bring his out, and
my friend Jacob brought his out and is getting very good at it. I was
thinking of getting a harmonica band started, and I'm saving up for a bass
harmonica.
    I'm told I pick instruments up very fast, and I picked up the harmonica
and learned it in 5 minutes. Some of my friends think it's annoying though.
I thought if you needed any help tabulating songs, I could help you wth it.
I also wanted to know what website publisher you use.

P.S. you still haven't tabulated La Bamba. I could help you with that if you
want.

Hi Mister Purintun

 

I am of Colombia, and my English is not very good.

I am a novice in the harmonica and have visited its page to look for its tablaturas.

I have a question: Since you update it frequently, how as they are the new songs?

Excuse the annoyance, but I want to be trying every day.

Thank you very much by its attention and thanks for its page

wan't to learn being "Help me make it through the night".  I came straight
to your site of course. Thanks for the great tabbing. I sincerely
congratulate you on working out "Orange Blossom Special" for us too. Thanks
for being there, and, your wisdom is certainly appreciated. And Mark, may
God continue to bless you if He should so will.  Best regards and kind

Warm greetings Mark,
A great many people who take up the harmonica know little about
reading music.
They don't get much help from music shops who are only interested in
the more expensive instruments on the whole.
You may get a beginners book with a few lines of a very simple tune
or two and then you are left to sink or swim.
I can now read music and play by ear. Both these skills take time
and practise. In the meantime tabs are what got me going -then kept
me going!!
It took me 6 months to start playing by ear and 12 months to read
music reasonably well.
It is still difficult to read music and play as smoothly as I would
like but I am getting there.
Without TAB sites I may have given up.
When new people ask for help I ALWAYS refer them to your site and
Jack's and Harptabs.
Your site is my favourite because you have TABS + WORDS + MIDI's
to play along with.
I know your site is a labour of love and the mind boggles at the
hours you must have put in. THANK YOU.
When people start playing they often have a tune in mind that they
would love to play well. This is usually the first tab they ask for.
Mine was 'Summertime'.
If I had had to wait to read music to play it I would have given
up!!
Keep up the good work my friend.

Henry.

Mr. Purintun,

Just a brief note to tell you how much I like, and get out of 'Harpin' an' a
Whinin''

I've learned lot from your site, always check there first when looking for a
song, and very much enjoy your sense of humor.

I guess ( From 'Weather in Carol Stream Ill') were almost neighbors,  I live
in Hyde Park, Chicago, and work at the University of Chicago.

I think you've done a wonderful service by putting up and maintaining your
site - Thanks.

What a monstrously good site you're building!~ I'm some impressed!
Thanks for making it available and so easy to navigate. Great tunes...
.
Re: One Hit Wonders: here's two
.
"The Martian Hop"... by the Galaxies; also by the Ron-dells... circa
1960... [ silly song but I have a grandkid that loves it ]
.
"Susie Darlin'"...by Robin Luke... circa 1959.. [ no horns if you can
help it tho ]
.
...and, he's hardly a one-hitter, but I would love to hear a midi
version of Bobby Darin's [ done to a cha-lypso beat ] "I'll Be There"
...it's the B side of his Atlantic Records 45 of "Beyond the Sea"... It
was covered in a similar style by Jerry and the Pacemakers. All the
subsequent versions like the Jackson 5's and Whitney's, etc. are slower
and "draggy" to my way of thinking. My opinion only... but Bobby Darin
was one of the all-time great song-stylists.
.
Thanks again and keep it going!

Dear Mark,

In the first place i would like to say that I really like your harp-tab website!
I'm trying to learn to play the bluesharp for a few weeks, and i;m making a slow but steady progress.

On your "one hit wonders" site you say that people can mail requests for
songs to tab.

Well, I would like to request 3 songs:

1. My Way  -Frank Sinatra (I'm not sure he wrote the original, but he sang a wonderfull version of it)
2. Venus -Shocking Blue
3. Breakfast at Tiffany's -Deep Blue Something

Dear Mr. Mark Purintun

I was browsing and just stumbled across your web site.
 It is a wonderful site and exactly what I have been
looking for.  I have been attempting to learn some
harmonica songs for the past couple of months.

I am currently in the Middle East supporting a U. S.
Army unit.  Your web site offers a breath of fresh
air.  I am perhaps older than most of your web site
visitors.

I have been searching for harmonica tabs for two
songs:

(1) I'll Sail My Ship Alone - Moon Mullican
(2) Cold Hard Facts of Life - Porter Wagoner

Thank you so very much for providing the web site.  I
can't imagine all of the time and effort you must put
into it - and for no remuneration.

One comment about the site comments:  I cannot for the
life of me figure out why Lara's Theme (Somewhere My
Love) From Dr. Zhivago did not make the cut-off for
the 100 best movies songs.

Thanks again.

I can't imagine any spending that much time building and maintaining
a site to help a bunch of doofuses like me who don't read music! As
you may have heard me casually mention, I just can't abide by tabs.
They just mess me up. So when I feel a song coming on, if I can't
get the words and melody straight in my head, I can't even begin to
make it happen on the harp. So what I do is, I sneak into Mark's
sight like a thief in the night, and pull up the song I want then I
print the words out (all tabbed , Mark even has the timing down now!)
but what I really want is to hear him play it. I listen to him play
the thing. Note that I said LISTEN, I really, really, listen to him
I steal the hell out of his timing, cadence, everyting! The only
thing I don't use is the tabs 'cause lots of times Marks has you
playing along with him and I think this is important for hackers
like me out there to understand. You guys and guyettes need to know
that some of his stuff seems to be designed to be played along WITH
what you are going to hear on your favorite cd! (oh, Mark don't eat
me alive if I'm wrong on this). As an example, last night for me it
was "Help me make it throught the night". I couln't remember how
everything fit, so I dipped into Mark's bag of goodies. But if you
play the tabs he has for that song all alone when you are back in
your easy chair, to my ear you are playing harmony to the melody
that Mark played on the computer. And that is why tabs will mess you
up if you don't watch out. Now if I'm wrong Mark I apoligize ahead
of time, I'm just learning and if I'm having trouble I know there
must be others who are too. This in no way reflects upon my
admiration for your skill and accomplishments. Steve

when musicians tab songs for me..!

I enjoy visiting your site (and there's something new everyday!), and learning
new songs from it - I especially like the songs you have chosen.
I only play about 50 songs so I've still got a lot of work to do. :)
Thank you again for putting all of them online, have a nice week-end,

There are a lot of people i talk to at Harmonicaclub.com that feel the same way.

Mark - I am so glad my email reached you, but my jaw dropped when I saw the work you have been doing. 

I have been looking for something like this, but because I played by ear, I really didn't know how to post a
question about these notes.  You seem know so much about music.  I will have to study your charts more
before I can really tell you anything.  I only know that I tried so hard to learn the tabs to songs that it became
more of a barrier than anything, I had to hear the instruments play.  I have found that mainly string seems to
work best with harmonica.  Thank you so much for the information, and any extra I come up with by ear I will
pass on to you, I hope it will help.

Mark, what a great site you have put together!!!!!  I can’t fathom the hours you have put into it.  For a
beginner like me it is just fantastic.  My wife would like me to learn ‘Blue eyes crying in the rain’ by
Willie. I have not been able to locate a harp book with W.N. songs, and would sure love the tabs.  Willie
Nelson songs are great for sitting around the campfire and most everyone knows them.  Any help would

Dear Mark,

What a nice site you have.  I think you can take the "under construction" sign off your site.
I bookmarked it, I will visit it more frequently.
Are the most song for a chromatic harmonica?

Hey Mark,

I'm quite aware of your fine site.  Have used it myself a couple of times.

All the best,

Mark,

I am amazed at your kindness, and of the time and effort that you have
extended to the group. Time after time, I watched as you went out of
your way, spending many hours of your personal time to be of help to
someone asking nothing in return.

I for one think the group owes you a big thank you!

Have a great weekend, and thank you again.

Mark,
   You seem to be venturing into ever deeper water in
your already "Best of its kind" site and I wonder if
you are ready to gird up your loins and attack "Orange
Blossom Special" I find it easy enough to tab with the
many cheat sheets that I have, but my results don,t
seem to tally with what I hear on disk when I play a
few bars. My johnny Cash book and several fake books
agree on the musical notation that I am working with.
All the best, Dwight Moore

Fellow Harpers,
Just a note to all you harpers out there.  I posted message #960 and
to my rescue came Mark Purintun.   He not only responded to my
message
the same day, but the following day had the song tabbed, along with
serveral Midi's.  The service was last weekend and went extremely
well.
Mark:  I know you are reading this and just to let you know, with the
exception of maintaining composure while playing, all went fine.  I
ended up using the tab you supplied, played with a "G" harp.  I took
your advise and practiced this song about 300 times.  I believe that
helped to exercise the 9 & 10 hole reeds that had not been played
very
much prior to this song.  Thanks again for all your help Mark and for
your web site.  Getting into your music theory pages were extremely
helpful. If you want to hire me as VP of Marketing of Mark Purintun,
I
will gladly volunteer my services at NO CHARGE. Thanks again my
friend. For all fellow harpers and new harpers to our group;  if you
have not checked out Mark's site ( http://www.dataflo.net/~mpurintun/ ) please do
so.
Grace and Peace.

Hi Mark,
Just a quick note to say you have an excellent website. Keep up the 
good work!

I found the tab of "Bring Him Home" on Mark Purintun's web site being
in the TV/Movies songs section. That same site is listed 05th June
this year in reply to a request for a tab to Piano Man. Check it out.

Incidentally Mark's site is surely the most awe inspiring thing that
I have seen for a long time. Nevertheless 3(three) things, namely,
tabs for "Misty" and "Mean Woman Blues", tabs for "Ramblin' Rose" and
"River Deep Mountain High" are same on the 70's - 90's page(s), and,
credits for "Whatever Will Be Will Be" are apparently by Ray Evans
and Ray Evans. Well, now, I am very far from being perfect, and, I'm
not throwing stones at Mister Purintun's website but I reckon it
certainly rocks.

Hi Mark,

I ran across your site today.  It's really great.  I notice on your 100 Best Country Songs #47
Don't Come Home a Drinkin' listed by Loretta Young.  The song is by Loretta Lynn.  I happen
to know this because she was one of my mom's favorite singers. 

Thanks!  Have a great day!

Thanks for putting your site up :-)
I like the fact that you have midi files to practice
along to. It sure helps to learn a new tune.

Hello,

I've just discovered your fantastic site!

Really pretty and really practical.

Many thanks for all that help.

Seeing as I can't get the notes right by myself, I've been
trying to find tabs for The Third Man theme.

Have you tabbed that one, or can you direct me anywhere else to find it?
 
Thanks.

Hi, Mark!

Your web site is just lovely and the midis are excellent!  The graphics are very cute, too LOL

I am compiling a web page honouring the four RCMP constables who were gunned down up here.  Perhaps you
read about it wherever you are?  Anyway, I attended the Memorial Service and was very moved by Mr. Ian Tyson's
rendition of his song Four Strong Winds -- it was always a favourite of mine.

I would like to use your midi as a background if you do not mind.  Could you send me your logo for link/credit at the
bottom of my page?  It will not be directly linked since I am downloading your midi to my page.

If you would be interested in checking out my personal little web site, please visit here:
http://members.shaw.ca/frozenorth/welcome.htm

My proposed page will be included in: http://members.shaw.ca/frozenorth2/chapter2.htm

Thank you for any consideration you may give my request.  

Sincerely
Sandra Miller

Hello I was surfing the web the other day when I found out about your site, now I thank you for all you have done and all your hard work
but I have one question about your site, Will it work for Richter harmonicas or is it only for Diatonic Harmonicas? thank you for your time,      
      


                                                                                                   Sincerely,

Hello,
I'm 14 and an aspiring harmonica player. I've gotten much better with the help of your site and I was
wondering if I could make a couple requests for songs. I know you're busy and all, but these are some
songs that I would like to learn:
~All along the watchtower (solos)-Bob Dylan
~The Ghost of Tom Joad (solos)-B.Springsteen

Thanks, I appreciate it.

Just ran across you site a couple of days ago while surfing for harmonica websites.  You have done a superb job with content
and presentation.  I tried to play the harp about 60 years ago, but didn't stick with it, since there was no real real instruction around. 
Now I'm 72.  I decided to try again.  i bought some good harps in C, D, A & F.  I'm really excited with my progress.  I'm still pretty
average at bending, but I'm progressing.  Your website will be invaluable to me, along with instruction CDs I bought,  Thanks again
for your valuable contribution in making playing the harp seem not quite so intimidating.
