Title: "I Found A Girl" — Jan Berry Track Preview Post by: Mark A. Moore on September 22, 2006, 11:46:00 PM I FOUND A GIRL: TRACK PREVIEW
Here's the very first rough draft of our instrumental track for "I Found A Girl" . . . a P. F. Sloan-Steve Barri composition . . . which was a Top 30 hit for Jan & Dean in the fall of 1965. This is our version of Jan Berry's original arrangement and production . . . adapted from Jan's personal music score from 1965. Again, this is rough . . . not all the parts are where they need to be yet . . . and the Harmonica part is still missing altogether. It's a rough mix . . . but it gives you a window on our recording process . . . and the nuts & bolts of the composition. Mark A.

Were Jan's harmonica parts generally notated for specific diatonic harmonicas, or did some songs necessitate chromatic harmonicas? Title: Re: \ Post by: Mark A.

Josh, Well, interestingly enough, the harmonica parts were not notated for "I Found A Girl" . . . The hand-claps and chimes were notated (along with everything else) . . . but not the harmonica . . . Go figure. But of course, we'll still be adding the harmonica parts to the song. M. Title: Re: \ Post by: Joshilyn Hoisington on September 25, 2006, 08:47:21 AM Interesting. Was the harmonica part written out for other songs, like "Little Old Lady"?
