I asked for my copy and got it. So glad I did. Lovely, lovely CD:
Blowing Through The Reeds" at http://www.gjk2.com/steveshaw/cd.htm
OH! I get it! Blowing Through the Reeds! Because he plays harmonica.
It all comes together.
Gee, mine has this loud humming on it … Oh, you mean its supposed to sound like that?

You’re just jealous because you just have to have that hum - sorry, drone - before your axe sounds any good! 
Steve (hum-free zone )
Steve, I guess you haven’t see the thread on tuning in the UP forum on using harmonica to tune UPs. I was sure it was one of your agents … 
djm
I didn’t see it and in a totally prejudiced way I’ll condemn the practice. 
No-one should ever tune to a harmonica. They are rarely tuned to A440 (for good reasons) and many models are not tuned to equal temperament. You could easily be tuning to a reed that’s about 20 cents flat. Moreover, the harmonica player may bend the note given for tuning. A reprehensible idea. 
And anyone who attempts to tune to a tremolo harmonica should be banned from the session and forced to drink Tinners Ale for a month.
Steve
I think I’ll quote you on that, if I may, sir.

But isn’t all that exactly what makes harmonica the perfect instrument to tune pipes to? 
I can appreciate where you’re coming from but I’ve often had someone tune to my root note, especially in the absence of electric tuners, tuning forks or other things. I mean, let’s say you’re at the beach or park and your friend with a guitar finds he’s out of tune and has nothing to use as a reference.
BTW have you tried the Bushman harmonicas yet? I’m about to order a couple to replace my blown LO G.
True, but very often the fiddle player will ask you for a D or an E when you’ve got, say, a C harp in your hand. E would be the 5-blow, which is noticeably flat on a Just-tuned or intermediate-tuned harp. Lee Oskars are tuned to Equal Temperament so should give no such problems, though they are tuned a bit above A440 - can be up to A444. Like you say, it’s best to pick up a harp in the right key and give 'em the root note. Bl**dy fiddle players! 
I haven’t tried Bushmen yet but I will when I blow out my LOs. Not an easy thing to do!
Cheers
Steve
Worra loada wimps. Real men don’t tune.
Too right, mate. They’ll be usin’ bleedin’ bog paper next!
Steve
Think you’ve got problems? Some eejit once asked me for an F# when I had a fiddle in my hand. Can’t think who it was…
“Blowing Through the Reeds” still puts me in mind of that classic “Wind on the Bog”…
Great CD!
But it was an inspiration to me. I can now ask for a Ebm7th chord when holding a C harmonica in my hand.
BTW I just got done listening to some of the clips. You have a great clarity in your playing. Nice jumps from note to note.

Very nice indeed!

I just finished listening to Steve’s CD (which arrived in the mail today). Dale is right; it’s a lovely album. Way to go Steve! 
I only recently ordered and received this wonderful CD. It is truly a delightful collection of tunes (and one lovely song). It is also just filled to the brim with sweetness. I hear and read so often about the ties among Irish musicians, the social glue of the music. Though I will probably never meet Steve, I’ve had a sense of his personality from this community and I hear that personality in the lovely steady and unassuming playings of these well-chosen tunes. So I feel a connectedness to the music, which I so appreciate.
Thank you, Steve, for this great CD.
